The view is spectacular and you are seconds from walking on the beach. The house was spotless and inviting. The rental team is very responsive. We had a toilet go out and Dave started working on it right away.
The location was great. The porch swings were a great place to have morning coffee and wine in the evening. The house was wonderful in everyway. The kitchen was very well stocked. The only complaint we had was the beds weren't very comfortable.
I stayed for a long weekend with my granddaughters, brother and father, for an early thanksgiving. The kitchen was laid out well, and able to accomodate us all, as well as my son and his girlfriend who visited and cooked dinner for us. My granddaughters loved the easy walk to the beach, and we spend a lot of time there. The porch swings are delightful, to just sit and watch the surf. The beds are very comfortable, and we all slept soundly. Plenty of pillows, etc. There is a whole bookshelf of games, movies and books to browse with the beach right outside the large windows. We really enjoyed our stay there, and we all wished we could have stayed longer!

Cottage on the Beach
The location is amazing and the porch swing was the place to be in the morning for coffee and evening for a glass of wine. Steps away from the amazingly clean beach. The amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms were great!

Definitely great for kids.
Fantastic views, great access to kid friendly beach. Well stocked kitchen items. LOVED the three porch swings. Very comfortable beds and bedding.
The house had what we needed. The beach is great! It would be nice to have towel hooks in the bathroom by the sink to hang multiple towels.

Perfect Getaway!
We absolutely loved our visit here! The views and unbeatable so if you're looking for a true oceanfront home, this is it! Sitting on that porch swing while sipping a beverage with my husband on our 15th anniversary is a new core memory for me. We will definitely be back!

This is a beautiful, clean and well maintained home right off the water. Loved that everything w...
We’ve stayed at quite a few beach houses. This is my favorite. Very clean , maintained. The enclosed fence around the property was great as well
This house is all about location. Steps from the beach, great views from the house. House itself is well used and could use some up keep but was clean for the most part. We had a great time
My husband and I enjoyed our stay with our fur babies. Sitting on the porch swing on the 3rd floor and just relaxing and watching the ocean. 20 second walk from the beach and the large patio is great to just hangout on. We will be back!
It was a family mini get away. This house was in a perfect location. We walked to the beach every day, at night my husband and I wat hed the ocean from the balcony. The property had everything we needed.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Great location
The location is the selling point for this property. Steps away from the beach, we were able to watch the family play in the water from our porch, or from inside the house in the AC. The house itself is fine, but could be a bit cleaner, and I killed a giant roach in the kitchen. But overall a good choice for families.

Great view and location, but in bad need of deep cleaning
Great location and views, but the place is very dusty and there are huge cockroaches inside. Beddings were very clean though, so it was nice.

A dream vacation house and location
It was sort of the vacation location you dream of. A nice house practically on the beach with beautiful ocean waves slapping up against the sandy beach. It was also very peaceful and quiet with a relatively few of amount of people… just enough to know that you’re not alone. Of course we walked along the beach a few times but spent most of our time telling stories and laughing while hearing and watching the ocean and the seagulls… a perfect backdrop! We are definitely going back next year!

Room With View
This property is always about the view. Everything else is just so-so. However, we will be back. On the upside, first time in years I have been able to get the door code for entry to work. Yay for the small things.

This house has the best location. Right on the beach with the most amazing views. Sunrise and sunsets and all day viewing. Great porches and outdoor seating. Spent the week outside on the porch.
Home is older and smaller inside but perfect for our family of 5. Kitchen was great and had all that we needed. Needs a really good cleaning as it was very dusty. Needs additional bedding but had a great stack of bath towels! Lots of sand toys in garage for kids to play with.
Bring pillows and extra blankets. Bring your own cleaning spray.
The location is the winner for this house. Beautiful porches and view.
Lovely beach house for us as a couple. The kids rooms will be a bit tight, but the excitement of the kids getting to play on the beach will tire them out. The house is right on the beach which is very convenient, sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. As a retired Merchant Mariner the upstairs living room made me feel like I was on the wheelhouse of a ship.
Bring binoculars and beach chairs.
About the title of the review, I think we counted 83 different camels in the house, but we may have missed some. Game on!
