"Beautifully decorated and maintained oceanfront condo with every amenity you could need during your stay. Breathtaking ocean and inlet views. Beds, bedding,& furniture were very clean and comfortable. Covered deck allowed us to sit outside any time of day or weather. Hosts were excellent with communication and even left a thoughtful welcome gift and note for us upon our arrival. I would give it 10 stars if I could. I will definitely book again."

"Second time at this location this year and we had another great time. Will definitely be checking out future availability. Location on the island couldn’t be any better with plenty of privacy on the beach. House is great with tons of privacy and a nice clean and modern feel. The space is always stocked with plenty of clean towels and linens along with the essentials (TP, paper towels, etc) that you don’t find at most rentals. Only thing more we could have asked of our host would be to work some magic to make the time pass a bit slower. ;) Couldn’t ask for a better retreat."

"We had a wonderful stay overall and really enjoyed our vacation. The home was comfortable. We also wanted to mention that the dunes in front of the house made it difficult for elderly family members to navigate the walk to the beach; it was fine for younger guests, but our elderly parents had a hard time getting down to the beach. Thank you for sharing your property with us."

"We had a wonderful stay and this beach house was perfect for our small family and our dog. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a simple, relaxing beach vacation. The location was great, and we really enjoyed our time here. The only suggestions we have would be to add a grill and a few beach chairs, which would make the stay even more convenient. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again!"
