Excellent stay. Loved the house, patio, beautiful view of the beach. Great collection of beach gear that was well maintained and helpful. One bike chain (of the 3 bikes) was broken from the previous guests but they’re fixing that. Overall fantastic and easy experience! Will hopefully return there again.

This property is absolutely beautiful right on the beach. I would definitely stay there again. Loved every minute. Jason was an amazing host. No trouble checking in. A few suggestions as I have seen from other reviews… with the salt air the outside furnitureis definitely a bit rusty. It needs to be updated.lI have rented, other VRBO‘s in many cities and the bathrooms were stocked with toiletries for the shower. I brought my own, so it was not an issue, but that might be a nice touch like shower gel and shampoo, but overall rating is a five and I would go back again. Location is amazing.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beach house. The location could not have been better, with the home sitting right on the beach and offering beautiful ocean views throughout the day. It was so relaxing to step outside and be just moments from the sand and water.The home itself was very comfortable and well maintained. Everything felt clean, thoughtfully arranged, and welcoming, which made it easy to settle in right away. It truly felt like a home away from home.Check in was simple and seamless. The property manager was fantastic to work with, very responsive, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.Overall, this was a five star experience from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront getaway.

Excellent location on 37th Street beachfront. Primarily upstairs unit with downstairs access to the beach. Easy communication, beach chairs and some kitchen amenities available. No Bluetooth speaker on site so bring your own. Patio furniture was outdated and cushions and metal frames were in bad condition. There is a garage and adjacent parking that does need to be paid for. Overall good property

Beautiful spot. 10/10 would stay again. Check in was a bit frustrating as we never received the check in instructions, so we were outside of house for a while on the phone with Vrbo to sort it out. Eventually got the code and made it in. Everything after that was perfect. Great house. Great location. Highly recommend.
