Property was very nice, clean, on the beach, and had beautiful views. Unfortunately, there was extremely loud construction next door from 7 AM to around 5 PM every day of our stay. This woke everyone in the house and made it difficult to site on the deck. Had we been made aware in advance, we likely would’ve looked elsewhere.

This was a family event and everyone enjoyed the stay. All aspects of the Beach house was easy from initial entry to closing out. The bedrooms, kitchen and common areas were well done and very nice. We had Thanksgiving there and were pleasantly surprised the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare and cook our specialties. Being located on the beach was nice and it was a short walk to the water. Thank goodness for the lift as it is definitely needed. We enjoyed the stay and would recommend the House on the Beach.

This was truly the best place we have ever stayed !!! The walk to the beach was very short and perfect, plenty of space for everyone, kitchen was really stocked with any gadget, dish, or pot/pans you need, and lots of extras like books to read, games, extra pillows in bedrooms, an electric blanket, beach chairs and toys, and lots of baby items like a high chair and pack n play. So much thought of the owners for the things guest might need ! And… the elevator was a game changer for sending up luggage and groceries!!! We will definitely book again !!! Thank you for an amazing week !!!
View from the porch ! Such a short walk to beach!

We had our family and friends with us, total 14 people. The house to the right of us was doing construction the entire time, jack hammer hamming and a construction crew that was loud and went from 7 am to 5 pm every day we were there. I kindly said something to the GM, nothing was done. I reached out to the host of the house, Stephanie and she did say she reached out the company who owned the property. Nothing was done. It’s really hard to relax when you have construction going on on top of you, can’t sit on any porch to relax, walk down to the beach, same thing, you can hear the construction. Spent a lot of money to listen to that and nothing be done about it. I appreciate the ownership trying, but it ruined our vacation. Master toilet broken Stairs to bunk beds was glued and not fixed, broke with my kids trying to walk down.
