We enjoyed our stay at Reel Nice! You can see the ocean from the balcony which we really enjoyed. The beach access is a quick walk which is very convenient.

Relaxing Stay

We enjoyed our time at Reel Nice. The house was clean and comfortable for the 5 of us. There was plenty of space in the living areas and beds were comfortable. We loved the front and back decks, overlooking the ocean and the beach access was so close. Kitchen is well stocked and the little extras for daily living (toiletries, kitchen supplies, etc.) were helpful. We'll definitely be back again!
