Very awesome place to stay it was spacious and totally equipped for our needs. Great communication with host. Only thing we ran across was sand was not cleaned out of couch cracks and ceiling fans were dusty.
enjoyed so much that we have booked again for the coming year Only thing I would change would be some holders in the showers to put your shampoo soap etc in.
House was big enough for our large group of friends celebrating our joint 60th bday. Right on the beach with fabulous deck and pool that enabled us to sit and enjoy the ocean from the deck and the beach. Plenty of space to comfortably accomodate the group. Very close to beach bar (Schooners), and other adult and family entertainment. Top bedroom accessible by spiral stairs, so be prepared. Really enjoyed our stay at this house!!!
Fantastic place! Clean, very roomy and great owner and management team-outstanding kitchen/living room area for all age family eating and meeting. Pool & hot tub deck sensational and private beach close enough to watch little ones
Everything was perfect!
The house location with the pool, the hot tub, the view from the kitchen/living room, even the weather was perfect everyday. They even had a high chair for our 1-year old infant.
Every morning, I had my coffee on the beach - no one was within 500 yards of me in either direction.
I hesitate to leave this great review because I fear we may have trouble trying to re-book this house in the future since it may not be available!
We had the most wonderful trip! 5 Stars!
Everything was clean and fine. For the cost of the house, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom seemed like an unnecessary shortcoming. Owner was responsive to have maintenance personnel come out for refrigerator, sliding glass doors and ice maker. This was our first experience with a VRBO being shown as a property for sale, and having perspective buyers walk through, while we were staying.
This house and all the amenities exceeded all expectations. The beach views and access were amazing. Definitely making this an annual trip. You will not be disappointed with this property. Thank you Ben’s beach house for making this the most memorable place for my daughter and all our friends 💕
Overall, this location was wonderful for our friends group to enjoy a quick get-away! A more accurate detailed listing of electronics in the kitchen would have been helpful in packing/preparing (i.e. there were like 3 or 4 crockpots, but there wasn't any of that indicated that on the listing). There were a few dirty dishes in the kitchen and the 2nd floor had a few unclean places, i.e. the floor and a bathroom sink. Our group had 23 adults and kids; it was PERFECT for our rambunctious kids to have a wonderful time and the adults to relax.
Enjoyed the beautiful views of the ocean and spaciousness of the living area and kitchen. We loved the pool and hot tub and porch. Bedrooms were all well-appointed. Had plenty of parking for our group. Would stay again!
This property was the perfect place for our family to stay together. We came down for a wedding and literally everyone was able to stay together. Would definitely rent this home again!
Better then the pictures!!!! This place is amazing, the amenities of pool and hot tub and view CANNOT BE BEAT! I took a group of friends and now have to go back with family too. The dishwasher wasn't working halfway through our stay and there are no beach chairs/toys so that's the only thing I might add, but other than that it was fantastic! Plan to go back!
Great home and location for our large group. Property management was quick to respond to small maintenance issue. Being close enough to Schooners to walk and grab a bite to eat another plus. Would rent again.
Great house and wonderful location. Walkable to restaurants and the beach was extremely private. The oven was a little dirty but the rest of the kitchen was great and well stocked. Lots of areas to socialize. Would definitely stay there again.

Best beach - Great View
Best kitchen we’ve ever had! Pool was just the right size 3-5 feet deep. Long tables and chairs inside and out for dining and games. It’s hard to find properties that will sleep our 6 families with 22 people. This is the fourth weekly rental we’ve had over the last ten years and family rated it as the best of the four.
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful and roomy beach house. The house was perfect for our group of 16 adults and 3 children. We slept comfortably and the rooms were spacious and cleaned. There was enough room for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed the openness of the kitchen and living room, alongside the beach view. This was amazing!
Hubby and I stayed in the top room. Access to the big balcony was great and the view from the top balcony was spectacular. However, we weren’t aware this room would not have any privacy as there is no door to the top room and no curtains or blinds for the sliding doors.. Also, the bed was not as comfortable as the other rooms. It had a plastic fitted sheet which the sheets kept moving and made it uncomfortable to sleep.
When we got there, one side of the refrigerator was not working, a bag of dirty linens was left behind by the cleaning group. We contacted Ben, and he immediately sent a technician to fix the refrigerator and got it working same evening we checked in. The same night, the cleaning lady came by to pick up the dirty linens. We were happy this was taken cared of the same evening.
Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. The host was quick to respond. I would definitely recommend this for anyone with a large group.
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home. 🙂
My family has been coming to the beach multiple times per year for over 40 years. This has been one of the most amazing visits.
The house was beautiful, well stocked and comfortable. We had 12 adults and 4 kids and it never once felt crowded.
The outside was fabulous. Multiple seating areas, meticulous pool and hot tub, steps to the beach and an outdoor shower.
Any needs we had were immediately addressed by the kind staff.
We celebrated our 25th anniversary and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting. We will definitely be back!
Excellent property right on the beach with pool highly recommended
