8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
We enjoyed our time in the area.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
It was very nice, very clean and a good old fashioned vacation! Great decks and porch swing under the house. Lovely view of the sound and boat dock across the street.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
Great location, just a short walk to the public beach access. Provided all accommodations you might need for cooking, etc during your stay. The house is slightly dated but clean. Comfortable beds. Great decks and balconies to catch the sunrise & sunset.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Everything was well prepared and we enjoyed our stay. Check in and out were simple, but the AC in all but one room was not up to par after the first day. Overall we were happy with the price especially considering it was a holiday weekend. Our main goal was beach proximity and the walk was short and sweet! But would have definitely enjoyed it being slightly cooler. Thanks again! Would come back!
