This property was perfect for a relaxing girls' weekend!! Super close to the water, absolutely EVERYTHING you would need to enjoy the surrounding beaches, very clean, nicely appointed!!! I will mark this property a "favorite" for future trips.
Just as pictured, close to everything, something for everyone and when your 10 yr old and 15 year old are both happy it’s a win for everyone. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and Clean
We enjoyed our stay very much. Great location, comfortable home, and very clean. Great trip!
The location was great with easy access to the walkway along the beach. The rental was great size for the three of us for our sisters birthday get together.
Roomy comfortable clean and safe
I found this gem last year at this time (9/23)
And happy to discover that it was available for me to return this year at the same time
Looking forward to a return Stay
This house checks off everything we were looking for... Clean, Dog friendly, Steps to the beach, Toys and games for the little one, Kayaks, Stand Up Paddleboard, laundry, etc. We fully enjoyed our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.
This location is in walking distance to ABYC. We had plenty of room for My son and his sailing partner as we brought his Nacra 17 catamaran to practice for the 2028 Olympics!
A beautiful clean home with all the amenities. Located between the beach and bay with easy access to both. Managers were so accommodating and quick to respond. We can’t wait to return!
This house was just right. Had everything we needed and more. Was clean, has a great location and we really enjoyed all the beach accessories! Thanks Shawn!
This is a very nice and comfortable place for a family to spend a week. The house was in great shape and well stocked. We loved the beach equipment - we used the paddle board and kayak every day. Hosts were very responsive. Look forward to staying again soon!
2 week work trip. I would definitely bring my family out. Maybe 50 yards from the beach. Lots of fun to be had in a 1 mile area. Great beds and atmosphere.
We have stayed here for a number of years in a row and each year is better than the last. They have added some nice amenities - new kitchen supplies and fridge - and always answer questions quickly. I would recommend this spot to anyone.
It was a perfect location for us to visit our new grandbaby, relax and walk on the beach just feet away from the front door and we were able to meet as a whole family one evening for dinner in the home. Communication was great - easy access and accommodation. Would stay again for sure.
