Excellent communication with the host, appreciate the quick responses to questions. House was clean, nicely laid out and was stocked with all the necessary equipment we could want. Great location next to the beach, easy beach access and great views. It was a relaxing getaway and we would rent again.

Kitchen was nice, beds were comfortable, great view from upstairs. Don't like that you can't walk across the street to beach because private access. Instead you have to go through the gate, which is sort of a pain but now we know. Only one vehicle spot for parking.

This is an amazing spot! Check in easy and problem free. House was the perfect size. My favorite part? Having coffee in the morning on the deck watching and listening to the waves.

We enjoyed our sray
We enjoyed the house, the view and the proximity to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated that there was ground coffee. We did feel that there should have been a more accurate description of the stairs. We were 3 women in our 60’s and getting our luggage up the stairs was. A problem. But overall we loved the home!
