Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Callie F. 1 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Seaside Stay This was in the perfect location & it was such a cute home. The perfect beach vibe. All of us absolutely loved the house and said we would come back. My only complaint is when we went to do laundry, the washing machine smelled very mildewy, as I know that is common with front load washers. Overall, we had an amazing time here. ##### Callie F. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hadley A. 22 Feb 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Love love love this house! This house was absolutely stunning. We shot lots of photos for our clothing company around the house because the weather ended up being so cold and it was gorgeous. We loved the large porches and beautiful kitchen and living room. I highly recommend this place. Short walk to the beach and we rode bikes to Seaside every day. We didn't want to leave! ##### Hadley A. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Troy B. 5 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacay Was a great trip. Overall the house was great. We loved the balcony. It was our shortest walk to the beach and the walk was a nice docked area. The only thing was the outdoor grill has seen its days. The downstairs shower lacked a bit of privacy. But overall a great trip ##### Troy B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah G. 14 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful! We had such a wonderful time at the beach house! Literal steps to the ocean, beautiful porch on both floors, and very comfy sleeping accommodations. I will definitely stay with this company again. Do note, the driveway only fits 2 full size SUVs max, and there is no street parking available. ##### Sarah G. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### amy h. 21 Jul 2018 #### Great! This beach house was the perfect get away for our family and friends. It was in a perfect locatIon, beautifully decorated, and we now want to go appliance shopping! Having the bikes as part of the package are a real money saver! The only thing about the property was there are no outlets in the upstairs suite bathroom which made getting ready interesting. You are in short walking distance from The Snappy Turtle and the bike shop. I would recommend this home to anyone and would even stay there again! ##### amy h.
