Perfect Getaway

Our family loves staying here! It has lots of beds and blankets and the property management company is very responsive. We feel well taken care of and it is heaven staying right on the beach. The newly remodeled kitchen is spacious with a large sink and all the appliances we need!

Perfect for our family

The location is ideal, being right on the beach and close to town. The waves are very loud, so if you have a hard time sleeping you might bring earplugs. We loved that this beach is unpopulated so we could truly enjoy nature at its finest. The property is clean, and doesn’t smell like chemicals. My family is sensitive to molds, detergents and chemicals and we have no problems here. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. We got a little chilly at night but they had plenty of extra blankets in every room. The property management company was lovely to work with. We loved this place so much we booked it for next year!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property management team was SO welcoming and accommodating and went beyond the entrance mile to support us. The space was clean and bright and inviting from the moment we arrived. The ocean waves were breaking not but 100 yards from the wall of windows. Easy access to everything in town and we can hardly wait to book this location again and again.

It's a great location for a getaway. There's a nice walkway right out the back door, wonderful ocean view and a great option for al fresco dining.

Nicely added details

We have stayed in a few houses in the same area but this was the cleanest and nicest of them all! The fresh flowers on the table and the nicely folded towels were a sweet personal touch!
