We really enjoyed our stay, including time lounging on the balcony with an ocean view. The place had everything we needed, including a comfortable and cozy living room, well-equipped kitchen and roomy bedrooms with excellent quality beds (and views). The beds were a big plus. The hosts were super responsive and friendly. We’d stay again!

Coastal getaway

We stayed 4 nights and wish it could have been longer. This is a great home. Extremely comfortable bed and couch. Nicely decorated. Very airy but still cozy. Great view and breezes. Will definitely stay again. We had a couple of questions and requests and the host was very responsive. Great all around experience

Perfect house.

Great communication with host. Beautiful view of Shelter Cove and the ocean, looking west. Quiet neighborhood and the neighbor directly to the south was awesome. Very friendly and welcoming. The house had all the amenities needed for our week stay. This was a nice set up. Thank you.
