Sweet lovely cozy beach home

My children and nephew and I stayed for a week this July and had just the best time here! Plenty of beds and bathrooms and the layout worked great so that we could be together or chill out on our own. We loved the wrap around porches and the cozy nooks and sitting places! The house had everything and the host is beyond hospitable! She helped us with our dates, with bike rentals and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. 10 out of 10!

Simply Divine!

We had a great stay at Simple Pleasures. The beach cottage was just as described and more. Our host, Walton, was accommodating and a pleasure to communicate with. The cottage was spacious and cosey at the same time. Overall just a great place to spend a week.

We had fun despite rained out weekend!

We enjoyed our stay at Walton’s beautiful beach house, five-minutes’ walk to the beach, with room to relax on a quiet bend on the street. Even though we had five rainy days due to a stalled tropical storm, our family of six made good use of puzzles, games, a well-appointed kitchen and places to just relax. Walton is a conscientious and responsive host! Despite the challenging weather, Walton checked in to make sure we were safe and comfortable. We appreciate her so much!

Great place, great price

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Simple Pleasures! The house is spacious, well-maintained, and furnished with everything that you need. We had 10 people staying there and no one felt crowded. Having 3 1/2 baths was a huge plus. The neighborhood is quiet and it's a short walk from the house to the beach. Walton is a wonderful host and kept in touch throughout the process and stay! Thank you!

I loved this property and owner!

This place was great! It was about a 3 minute walk to the public access beach, it was clean, well stocked, and a joy to stay. My friends and family had a wonderful vacation. I was in contact with the owner with some issue that arose (that where out of her control and no fault of her own) an she responded immediately and dealt with the problem. Moreover, she contacted me when I arrived to make sure I got in okay an that there were no issues. Very friendly and accommodating owner! Great place to stay in a great area. I would definitely rent this property again!

Great house close to the beach

This was a great house close to the beach and the sound side dock at the boat ramp. We were less than 5 minutes to the beach or could walk right across the road to the soundside fishing dock. There is a fishing cart with rod holders to haul gear to the beach or dock. Nice size rooms and anything you could need for cooking in the kitchen. Jack & Jill bathroom for the twin bed bedrooms worked out great for the kids. Bonus was you can see the ocean from the decks, was not expecting that. We’ll be back!

Wonderful gem for a perfect vacation

We had such a wonderful time at Simple Pleasures. The house is well appointed with a sea view, wonderful crosswind and conveniently close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood that is also close to groceries, shopping, and restaurants. It had everything we needed for our beach vacation, including beach gear! And the beach is amazing… great swimming, walking and not crowded. Gas grill was large and even included an extra gas tank. Walton was very responsive and helpful and attentive to our needs. Great experience all around. Will be back!

Simple pleasures was a great getaway

The location was fantastic, and grants you use to the neighborhood only beach access, which only has 4 steps down leading to the beach. We were able to take two laden carts to the beach, only slightly lifting when going up. The kitchen was stocked with everything you may need and then some. I saw a panini press, blender, toaster, toaster over, drip coffee maker, and pots and pans, including a huge pot we used to make a boil in one night. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels are brought fresh between visits.. There was some starter papertowels and TP but we brought extra. There are board games and puzzles, and a few sand toys for kids. Communication with the owner was excellent, and we felt taken care of. She even has an emergency handy man in case you need it. We had a great time enjoying the beach and we would gladly return.

Our property owner could not have been more helpful, from the get ready stage to check out stage, she was amazing! Even had eat out recommendations! The property is very family oriented, beautifully decorated. Kitchen had everything we could have needed for meal preparation. Close proximity to grocery stores. Weather was good. Lovely to sit on upper deck & have coffee & listen to the birds enjoying their day too. Ocean is beautiful “Muana” green & blue. Great stay!
