Comfy and cozy
The owner thought of everything and that made our stay very convenient. I love all the private rooms available. But also that two rooms were joined by a door which was great for the family with little kids. We loved the use of the wagon, boogie boards and beach towels. We will definitely be staying again on our next visit.

Beautiful Historic Vacation Home!
This historic home is very clean and beautifully decorated. It has plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, including an upstairs loft. We had a group of 12 and we were very comfortable for our 6 day vacation. The kitchen was very nice. There were small appliances, beach towels, lots of board games, WiFi and much more provided for guests. The parking was safe in the back and accommodated all 3 of our vehicles. The house is close to the beach and the pier. We found lots to do close to the house. The host was very nice and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. We would recommend this home and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Jeree!

Great Vacation House
This House was great! It’s not far from the beach and close to the peer. There are many things to do around. The house was very cozy but very spacious, we had 4 families total of 12 people staying. All the adults stayed downstairs and the kiddos got to stay up stairs and had so much fun! They had plenty of board games, and the kids also enjoyed playing video game. We had everything we needed at all times, the beds were very comfy, and everything was easy access especially in the kitchen. Our stay was great!

Beat our expectations
I can’t say enough good things about this place! The location is a short three blocks from the Seawall and beach. Easy access. The home had good ac (it was over 90 degrees today). The beds were comfortable and the decor is beautiful. Plenty of bathrooms and nice kitchen. Front and back porches are great too. Easy parking for two vehicles and we fit three. Fourth car we parked a block away on the street with no issues. The house was quiet. We had 8 staying there including four teenage boys. No problem with noise or space. Lovely trip. Walkable neighborhood full of historic homes. The Strand is a short drive away.

Perfect place
It was so wonderful to stay in this charming house. It was cozy yet had plenty of room for us to spread out. We loved that we each had our own bathroom, that we were able to eat at home and enjoying the wonderful porches.
