The open kitchen, dining, and living space creates an easy gathering area, with seating for up to 12.
Guests enjoy an easy walk to the beach. Beach chairs and boogie boards are typically available, and the outdoor hot and cold shower makes rinsing off simple after a day on the sand. There is also a grill, picnic table, yard space, and balconies with ocean breezes for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Parking is available for up to three vehicles.

The home sits directly across from a wedding venue, making it ideal for guests attending local events.

Overall good stay. Quiet area. Really easy to check in. Stayed in the off season so it hadn’t been “lived in” for a bit. There were some dead and alive cockroaches that were scattered throughout the house once we got there. We didn’t see any once we were there but still not great. Really close to the boardwalk area.

We had an amazing stay for our five year wedding anniversary. The house is amazing with great space and I would recommend it to my family and friends. Once we arrived, we were able to walk to just about everywhere on the island minus the grocery store. We definitely hope to stay again sometime soon.

Owner was very responsive and professional and great communicator! Loved the place and the location was great. The grandkids could walk to the boardwalk and it was very close to the beach. Unit was plenty big enough and well stocked. Beds were comfortable and closet space was great. Balconies were great to watch the fireworks. Chairs on balcony were few and needed repair Would definately return, can’t say enough good things about the unit our family so enjoyed our wonderful vacation. Thank you for a great experience!

The condo was very nice. It was clean, huge and a perfect location. I look forward to staying there again in the future! The ONLY issue we had was the little ‘sink/drain gnats(?). I really don’t know what they’re called but they enjoyed the condo with us. That issue wouldn’t deter us from staying again but it should probably be checked out.

Vacation getaway with kids and family

The place was just as advertised and was in the perfect location! We could easily walk to the beach and restaurants (while pushing kids in a stroller/wagon). Plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 kids (under 3). My husband even gave kudos to the nice toilet paper. We definitely will be booking again!

A true gem

This is the second year in a row that we stayed at this property. We just couldn’t pass up the opportunity for the amazing location to the beach, proximity to food, and quiet street. I imagine after Memorial Day the area gets a bit busier with it being tourist season and the little carnival being up and running, but what fun!

Nice Time Good Location

Overall stay was nice and location was perfect. In one of the bedrooms the bed cover was dirty or had stains so had to remove. The shower door was also off track but easy fix. I would say we would return to this property in the future.

Everything We Wanted and More

When we saw this house, location, and price we felt like it was too good to be true, but it was as described and easily earned the full five stars for our four-person family. I did note that many of the walls looked like they could use a fresh coat of paint and there were couple other things that made us think this VRBO may be a work in progress, but it was not anything that kept us from enjoying our stay.The positives are numerous but I'll hit on the ones that really stuck out to me:- The beds are very comfortable and all have convenient nightstands with outlets nearby. The bunkbed was quite sturdy and we felt that our six and four YOs were safe. - There's four porches and you can see the ocean from most if not all of them!- The couches are very comfortable and the set up of the living room makes sense and flows into the rest of the house well.- The location is stellar. There's a fantastic coffee shop just a minute's walk away and the beach is only a few more minutes after that.- We didn't end up needing anything from the host during the stay, but we did ask if we could check in an hour early because of the timing of our flights and they were quick to respond and say that it would work which we very much appreciated.If you're staying in the area, put this property at the top of your list!
