"Our family had a wonderful vacation! The home is located right on the beach, beautiful view of the ocean from the living areas and master bedroom! The host was wonderful and attentive throughout the stay. The home was clean and spacious. The home was complete with all kinds of accommodations such as kitchen wares, beach toys and accessories. It was relaxing waking up to oceanfront view. I got to enjoy painting plein air from the deck with my oil paints. Highly recommend!!"

"We had a wonderful stay overall and really enjoyed our vacation. The home was comfortable. We also wanted to mention that the dunes in front of the house made it difficult for elderly family members to navigate the walk to the beach; it was fine for younger guests, but our elderly parents had a hard time getting down to the beach. Thank you for sharing your property with us."

"Our family had a wonderful stay here. The house is very convenient to the beach. It’s just a short walk to the beach access and the beach itself was beautiful and not very populated. The house was clean, updated, and worked really well for us and our 3 yr old daughter. Jeff was highly communicative and great to work with during our stay. He was really friendly and had some great recommendations for places to go on the island. We’re looking forward to another stay next summer!"
