Perfect beachfront home

Everything you need for a wonderful stay on the beach. Location, sleeping arrangements, all the things to play with on the beach… just perfect. Property owner very responsive to issues and even gave us a free nite when there were plumbing problems. After renting multiple homes over the years, I have found my favorite. We will be back!!

Always a wonderful stay!

This has been our third stay at this property (we come for a week each summer). It is our go to place now! We love it so much. Everything is so beautiful and clean and it’s right on the beach. I also love the ping pong table to play in the evening when it’s cooler. The outdoor shower is refreshing after being on the beach. Absolutely love it! We will be back.

The best spot on the beach

The view was beautiful. The house was beautiful. I guess I can say everything was beautiful. Had a great time staying here and I don't think in the eight years we've been going to the lone Star rally that we stayed in a better place. Looking forward to staying here next year. Maybe I shouldn't say that someone might get it before I do lol. Great place to stay. I recommend it to everyone.

5 star stay!

This place is as advertised. Easily one of the nicest beach houses in the Bermuda beach area both inside and out. We had dinner on the shaded deck each night overlooking the ocean. Beds are comfy and house has a modern beach design with everything you could imagine for your stay. Great open floor plan from kitchen to living room with multiple ocean views. Downstairs has an outdoor shower, ping pong table, and all the beach necessities! Great location. Private beach area with little to no traffic minutes from the seawall. We will definitely book this place again.

Relaxation to the Maximum

The property was exactly and precisely as advertised. Extremely clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked, very quiet and peaceful with a very efficient floor plan that made the house seem much larger than the square footage would indicate. When the home is described as Ocean Front, that means OCEAN FRONT. The only way you could be closer to the ocean would be sitting in the water. Our host, Tammy, responded quickly to each and every text we sent. The property definitely deserves five stars and a 10 rating. My wife and I liked it so much that we are rebooking some more time in October.

Great Location and Top Notch Digs

Great place - not too big not too small - cozy - very well done and taken care of . Everything is just in the right place for comfort and ease of stay Steps from a non crowded Bermuda Beach. The Hosts are top notch and attended to our minor problem very quickly and happily. Location is just out of town but close enough to enjoy the restaurants and sights without driving miles . And super quiet - we were there on a relatively crowded summer weekend and felt like we were in our own bubble of peace and quiet . Oh and great air conditioning - frosty ! Good beds and comfortable furniture - Sonos for the tunes indoor and out was a nice touch . Covered patio Keeps you cool while you watch the waves and moon / sunset Plenty of beach toys so you don’t have to drag it all down there - Rest - a - Shore is an apt name for this place . We did some resting . We would stay again. Thanks Tammy
