The house was perfect. Brenda has thought of everything you could possibility need while away from home! The house and backyard were beautiful. It was only a mile from the beach which was great for kids and dogs and there was a park just down the street.

Very clean, quiet, and charming. I enjoyed the quiet and having everything available that we could possibly need (even spare readers, thank you!!!) for a weekend of R&R. Dogs LOVED the fenced yard to run free and the host was very responsive. I would stay here again if returning to the area. Just a lovely and peaceful stay, Thank you!

The whole process was very easy. Brenda was responsive and helpful! The house was very kid friendly with board games, books, etc. and really made our kids feel at home. Also, there are tons of playgrounds near this house so there was always a new place to check out. Overall, the house w!s a joy to stay at!

Fabulous!

The property was wonderful - so clean, very tastefully decorated, plenty of space. The host really went the extra mile thinking of everything we might need. The patio and yard were wonderful for eating outdoors and letting the dogs run. (The property is very dog friendly.) Just a short drive to the beach. Could not recommend this property more!

Perfect house for our family

Beautifully decorated older 3BR house. We loved the layout and the fenced in yard for our dog. The owner has thought of everything one might need for a short stay. The house had comfortable beds and up to date appliances. Good location—our only negative was that we were hoping we could walk to the beach but it was a little too far so we drove. Otherwise, a nice relaxing few days and we would stay here again.

Wonderful stay

We were highly impressed by the cleanliness of this house and overall amenities offered. We are a family of 4 who brought our maltipoo along on a memorable vacation. The house was very well taken care of, offered many things to make your stay more comfortable (extra blankets, everything you could need in the kitchen, extra toiletries should you have forgotten anything, etc.). While we are out of the pack-and-play stage I greatly appreciated seeing one with sheets, etc. Kid friendly dishes, bowls and cups also offered were a pleasant surprise. The location served us very well too. Kruse Park (dog friendly beach) is less than 5 minutes away and was phenomenal - clean, beautiful and much less crowded than the other beaches. We also took day trips to other towns making this location very convenient as well. On a rainy day we took in the children's museum which was a hit for our 2nd grader and preschooler. Note: Two beach chairs were available for us to use as well as a new washer and dryer. When reviewing prior reviews, these are mentioned as suggestions, so I'm happy to share they are now offered. Both made our stay more enjoyable.
