Reviewer Comments:
It was everything described, photos included.House floor plan is perfect, it's a panoramic view the moment you wake up! Downstairs is perfect for privacy. The way the houses are set up you feel secluded, even though they are close. We barely saw anyone. It was a very nice stay for my family and i. I would definately rent again in the future and have already recommended it to several friends, looking for family stays.

Reviewer Comments:
Great spot for a family getaway! The house was the perfect size and we loved that we could bring our dog. The deck had amazing ocean views and it was fun watching the deer wander by.A few tips for future guests: the driveway is very steep, the kitchen doesn’t have much in the way of basics (no salt), and you’ll want to bring your own beach towels and toys. Overall, a super relaxing place to stay!

Reviewer Comments:
Weather was incredible the entire weekend; the house views were great. The location was farther than our original house that had a maintenance issue. Many items in the house broke while they're due to not being attended to. The window in the dining room and the sliding doors, except for one, did not have screens. So, we had yellow jackets entering the house since it was so hot that weekend we needed the windows open without screens. The house is a bit outdated, but with some minor fix-its, it could be a great house.
