A little more about our beach house:

While this is listed as 8 beds (10 people), Room #2 (with the two bunk beds) has a bunk bed with a single on the top and a FULL on the bottom which our two young daughters love to share, so if you really need the space, you can sleep 11. The 3rd room is a casita which is perfect for older kids who wants time away from the adults.

Food:
We frequently visit the local fish market, where you can buy shrimps and fresh fish for a great price. There is a nice BBQ grill outside, along with a sitting area. For groceries, you can visit Sam's Club or Walmart just 15min away, that is where we do most of our shopping (I will send you Google map links to everything)

Later in the day as the sun starts to set, light up the fire pit and enjoy the amazing sunset on the beach. When night falls, turn off all the lights in the house and go stargazing; The visibility at night is beyond this world.

We got there and everything was unlocked. The house was clean. There are only two bedrooms in the house. One separate bedroom in the garage. That was a bummer as I didn’t want my kids outside. Having a house on the beach was absolutely incredible. Would have loved to be up on the roof. (Stairs are broken). We were the only ones on the beach most the time, with only 3 solicitors the whole day. Also best price out of any listing.

We have stayed here multiple times and love the property and specially the location. The room with bunks is perfect for the kids, who enjoy playing with the canoe and the boogie boards. There are no stores nearby so make sure to bring everything that you will need. The stairway to the observatory was being repaired so we couldn't use it this time. Overall, we love it, we recommend it and we will keep coming.

Fabulous and quiet beach! Stunning sunsets and warm water, perfect for long walks and shell hunting. It’s great to have access to the sea kayak and boogie boards. I would stay again because we had a lovely time and the price was good. The house was good and needs some maintenance and some more kitchen items like glasses. The bed frame in the main bedroom was broken resulting in the box springs partially resting on the ground. We were able to rig it, but it needs to be fixed. Someone recently had fish in the freezer and the smell was very strong. We bought baking soda in town and that tamed it. The AC in the main bedroom is not working well and the toilet paper holder in the second bathroom falls off when you go to change the paper. Tea kettle does not work. The place just needs some TLC, but it is wonderful to sit on the patio or walk down to the ocean.

We loved our ocean views, steps away from the beach. An issue we ran into, was the back sliding door was not easy to open and was not sealing when closed which made outside air come in and made it hot/humid inside. Another detail that was missed, the AC units could of been on before we got there. It made our arrival a little uncomfortable coming into a hot house. And having to wait over 3hours for the house to cool down. Our stay was comfortable after that and enjoyed the beautiful views. The host was very easy to contact and responded in a timely manner.

We loved the house! The location was awesome—right on the beach! The house could use a few more dishes particularly glasses. There were only some mugs. But overall we loved our stay and would go back again! The owner was very nice to work with. Thanks!

Need of new updates

Needs to get updates, it tells you about all these amenities it has but everything is old and in bad conditions. Doesn't quite feel safe The host does communicate with you well ill give them 10/10 for that. The place is just not what you expect.

Lovely on the beach!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay and shared the following feedback with the property owners which is the reason for the 3-star review: To property owners : We had a great time and love the location and access to the ocean! That said, you should know there are some things that are broken, not useable. Both white plasticlounge chairs are broken. The boogie board is coming apart, the kayak has broken seats and all the paddles are cracked or broken, the folding beach chairs are rusted closed and won't open. The sliding glass door handle is broken and also the screen door comes off the track very easily with normal opening and closing. Also the King Sized bed is starting to sag pretty badly. It could definitely use an upgrade. The kitchen is great and everything else seems to be in good condition and we did enjoy having WiFi and Netflix access. Again we have enjoyed our time but wanted to make you aware of these things.
