This family vacation was wonderful! The house was super clean and had everything we needed. They really have thought of everything to make your stay easy and relaxing! Our kids especially loved the game room!! The beach is just a short walk and wasn’t overly crowded. We visited the VA Aquarium which was fun. We ate out at the Dirty Buffalo and the Shorebreak Taphouse, and both were so delicious! We are already thinking about our next trip here!! I highly recommend this house!! ##### Kim H.

The home offered plenty of space for our entire family to spread out and relax, yet it still felt cozy and welcoming. The kids especially loved the variety of games available, which kept them entertained for hours. It was so thoughtful of the hosts to provide such family-friendly amenities!Another major highlight was the location. Being so close to the airport made our travel incredibly convenient, and we appreciated how easy it was to get to nearby attractions. Despite the proximity to the airport, the home was quiet and peaceful.The property was immaculately clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can’t recommend this place enough for families looking for a spacious, convenient, and fun rental. We would absolutely stay here again!Kervon ##### Kervon G.

The beach was within easy walking distance. (not a lot of fancy shells, but so beautiful for morning sunrises!) Just be careful on the little step into the game room. We (6 seniors) blocked the step off with a chair so no one else would fall. I just wish we had more time here! ##### Loretta S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025
