The three of us enjoyed our private bedroooms and the shared living room and outdoor patio were perfect for our get togethers. Cooking was fun and easy because the kitchen was so well equipped. We appreciated the fancy coffee machine and the little snacks that were left. We loved the five minute walk to the grocery store and the beach. The neighborhood was calm and peaceful. Definitely a five star visit! I would like to return with my husband. ##### Jennifer K.

Hello, our stay here was excellent. It is a lovely craftsman style home with simple clean decor and an excellent layout. There is more space than appears online and at initial arrival! The outdoor space was lovely as well, we enjoyed a grilled dinner and games on the deck. Also the outdoor shower is perfect after a day of sand and sun before going inside. The walk to the beach is very short, maybe 5-7 min depending on the individual, heat is the only downfall, and that can't be blamed on the property owner. All in all 5+ stars, would definitely recommend! ##### kim b.

It's easy to give a high rating when everything goes perfectly as planned. The true test, though, is what happens when there's a glitch. We had a glitch with check-in, but we expected it to turn out well based on Bernice's SuperHost status. We weren't wrong. Bernice went above and beyond to make it right, and we enjoyed a fun-filled weekend in her beautiful home. This may be the most well-appointed, cozy VRBO we've visited. We hope to return! ##### Caron A.

Everyone had their own quiet little location outside was awesome. Our family barbecued for Easter weekend and we had wonderful family time. The beach is very close by. You have Variety of places to go eat whether it’s seafood or ice cream it’s in an extremely good location whether you want to walk bike ride or drive your car . Ms. Bernice thought about everything there was nothing in the home that was missing and inclusive of an extremely well stocked kitchen . anytime I contacted Ms. Bernice just with a general question, she responded almost immediately. We highly recommend her home and will be repeated guest. 😊 Thank you! ##### Nilsa A.

Well stocked with everything you need to feel like you’re staying in your own place. It’s a great central location and very convenient to everything. ##### Michael P. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ---
