Perfect beach house for a dog-friendly getaway! Just steps from the sand, super modern inside with tons of comfy seating. Our pup loved it and so did we — clean, well-equipped, and in the perfect location. Highly recommend!

Overall, we were happy with the house and enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, nicely remodeled, and the proximity to the beach was a definite plus.There were a few issues worth noting. The listing advertised a two-car garage, but it is actually a small one-car garage. A large SUV would not fit inside. Parking is also limited, with space for only one vehicle in the driveway, and even then it extends across the driveway. There is no street parking directly in front of the house.The beds had memory foam mattresses that we did not find particularly comfortable, and the sheets were stiff and did not fit the mattresses well. A few kitchen supplies had not been replenished, and the main bathroom was missing a hook, which appeared to have broken off and had not been replaced.These were relatively minor inconveniences and did not significantly detract from our experience. Overall, we found the house to be comfortable, clean, and in a great location, and we would recommend it to others looking for a place near the beach.

The beach view & acces was out standing. The pet friendly was great. They provided water bowls & toys for our babies. Everything was beautiful. Just one quick note, that it took awhile for the hot water to come on. Thank You so much for a wonderful stay.
