It was an easy walk to the pier and the beach. The house is located on the same street as the pier so that was very convenient. It was clean and check out was easy using the linen bags. The outdoor shower was was a great amenity. It is fully closed in so you can take a real shower outside. My only complaint is the beds are super hard and I am used to a much softer bed. I would absolutely stay her again. ##### Ellen C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Butch Y. 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy House was an older home, but updated and very clean. Very close to the ocean. The only complaint is that two bedrooms didn't have televisions in them. ##### Butch Y. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte H. 8 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Older Home but cozy This is an older home. I could feel the love in it when I walked in. It's definitely not the fancy hotels you would stay but it's cozy. The beds do need replacing as my husband and myself along with my son and daughter-in-law rolled to the middle of the beds. It is better than the place we are staying now. ##### Charlotte H. Stayed 168 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn y. 26 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Brought my Mom for her 97th birthday. This property was convenient to everything. Loved the screened in porch! It was partially handicapped accessible which made it easy for Mom. Will definitely stay there again! ##### Carolyn y. ---
