"Great place to unwind and relax. The view from the deck was awesome. We sat outside and watched a lightning storm out at sea for 45 minutes one night and the full moon crossing the sky and glistening on the waves another. Cozy, restful, and peaceful."

8/10 Good
"Great access to the beach, and pool just off the beach was wonderful. Spacious rooms and ample space for our family - nice open concept kitchen and living room on one floor was great for family time and bedrooms on separate floors to keep noise down/separate. Plenty of kitchen appliances and cooking supplies. Having two dishwashers and fridges was a bonus! Kids loved the pool table room in the basement. We enjoyed all the porches overlooking the ocean on one side and sound on the other of the house. It is a quieter, family friendly beach but still places nearby to enjoy - good restaurants, local spots to shop, cafes, turtle rescue, mini golf, etc. We would definitely recommend this house to others!"
