Here are a few kind words from our past guests:

5-stars "The place was so enchanting in many ways. Clean, pleasant space. The kitchen living room area was a nice place for everybody to gather. Pool, hot tub, decks and a two min. walk to the beach made life fun and painless. Having tons of bath rooms was very helpful with a lot of people in a huge space. A great find." -Maxwell

5-stars" This home was definitely ideal. It was less than a five min. walk to the beach (very near public beach access). Our dogs adored the big fenced in back yard. The pool and hot tub were very clean. The home has multiple very nice decks. Inside, it was clean, comfortable and well furnished. There was plenty of room for our family of 8. The kitchen was well outfitted with cookware and service ware. Lastly, and most importantly, Nadina was very responsive, friendly and supplied clear instructions for our stay. We’ll definitely be planning a trip back next year."- Tina

5-stars "Great home for a big group or family. Clean home and super close to the beach. It was nice each floor had its own sitting area is everybody had their own space. We had two toddlers and the infant gates, two pack and plays, and infant toys were extraordinary!"- Tollie
