About this property

This retro house is a property our little family affectionately calls the Beach Pit. It was one of the original beach houses on the Island and some of its original features remain; vaulted wooden slat ceilings and black and white parquet floors. You will likely feel a mix of nostalgia by your surroundings contrasted by the comforts of modern day conveniences: lightning fast wfi, comfortable beds and tvs in all rooms. Watch the world go by through the big bay windows with your fresh cuppa, enjoy the handy beach wagon for time at the beach or hunker down and get away from the sun playing some cards or watch a movie inside. This place is sure to feel like your home away from home. Dogs welcome at no extra charge, fully fenced yard.

Cozy Beach House with Character

Great location within walking distance of the beach. Loved the older construction with exposed lumber.

This place is a real score

For the frugal yet discerning traveler, you can't beat this cozy spot. It's just across the street from public beach access, and one block from beachfront dining (Palms Cafe--decent food and drinks overlooking the beach). The street and neighborhood are peaceful and quiet, it felt like a lot of locals and families would be living there. The casita itself is absolutely adorable and the perfect size for a group of friends. The kitchen is fully stocked with the basics, and there is a big, beautiful table that would easily sit a party of eight. That said, we took all of our meals out back on the deck. The TV's have every entertainment platform imaginable, the furniture is comfortable and modern, the beds are heavenly, and the entire house is cleaned and well-maintained. One of our favorite features was all of the complimentary beach stuff provided by the owners. There was a beach wagon, umbrella, 2 beach chairs, and a bunch of boogie boards (such fun!!)--all stuff we would have had to rent otherwise. This is a thoughtful inclusion by the owners. Thank you for a great stay! We're coming back for sure.

About the host

Your host

We are a civil servant and stay at home mom who decided to take a risk and buy a house on the Island. We love managing the property ourselves. When you contact us, you aren't talking to a random person at a management company. You are speaking directly to the owners.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be closer to the beach than even the "beach front" condos, but we didn't want to hike up flights of stairs with our small kids and supplies. We wanted a fenced backyard, and we also wanted something "cool". It took us a while to find what we were looking for, but we're glad we waited!
