Beautiful Beachfront House with Private Pool
We had a wondeful, relaxing stay. The house had plenty of room for the 6 of us. We spent most of the time on the deck watching the waves, and our kids spent their time in the pool. We were sad when our departure date came and are looking forward to visiting again.

Excellent Property
My family and I stayed at this property and it was exactly as described. Access to the beach was quick and easy and the pool was amazing. The location of the property on the beach was great and we didn’t have a huge crowd to fight every time we went to the beach. We had three small children 5,3 and 10 months and the house was very accommodating for the kids. We look forward to staying here again.

Fantastic Value
We are a middle aged couple who bring 2 adult daughters to the coast every October. We like to just have a quiet nature watch. This is the best house we have stayed in. October can often be random in temperature, but was warm this time and we loved the pool. The floor plan is wide instead of deep, allowing for a huge balcony and lots of interior light. Every handrail on stairs, balcony and pool deck is of non-splinter material. The place is very well equipped. The downloadable instruction app is clever. The location is peaceful. Highly recommended.
