Excellent Choice!!

My husband, daughter & I along with our Golden Doodle stayed 3 nights over Labor Day weekend. The house was absolutely perfect! They thought of everything when stocking the house! Coffee, creamer, tea, trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels & beach towels were all provided. The kitchen is completely stocked with everything you would need to cook meals at home. The owner answered all of my questions and checked in on us during our stay. Fenced in yard for our dog made it so easy to let her out before we were ready for her long walks. Thanks for making us feel so welcome! We will definitely be back!

Our group loved the pumpkin house. The location was perfect very short walk to the beach. We spent a lot of time down stairs at the picnic table cooking and hanging out. The breeze from the ocean was amazing and made being outside very nice in 95+ degree weather.

Great Beach Getaway

Fresh, clean, and quaint! We enjoyed our stay and the house had everything we needed. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials for cooking. Pioneer woman utensils. We were very thankful for the "magic filtered water" from the fridge. I liked the outside shower head at foot level for sandy feet. Francisco is very attentive and professional. Thank you!

Family-Friendly Home Close to Beach

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It has absolutely everything you need to for a comfortable stay, plus some items for the beach. We had forgotten our beach chairs, but they had a tub of chairs available! Very short walk to the beach made it easy to go back and forth to our room with kids. There was a gorgeous view from the balconies as well. Plenty of room for 2 families with kids. We would love to stay here again.

Perfect place to getaway

Check in was easy and host was responsive. Loved the view of the water. Got to catch a beautiful sunset on the front deck right over the lake. The beach is so close we were able to use the provided beach chairs and hang out and could go back to the house for snacks and restroom breaks easily. Kitchen was well stocked and since we forgot shampoo and conditioner the toiletries were appreciated. Came with all adults this time but definitely want to come back with my nieces and nephew soon.

Home away from home!

I can tell you even on vacation I like the modern conveniences that you have when you're home.. The house was not only beautiful and comfortable, it had so many things that you would normally have to bring on vacation. Coffee, tea's, sugar, spices etc. It was definitely in walking distance to the beach and very convenient to local stores and restaurants. The family loved the decor and all the wonderful thoughtful touches that went in to this extraordinary beach house! We'll be back!!
