"Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. 5 Stars"

The aesthetic of the beach house made the experience so much more homely. We loved the distance to the beach, the vibe and the beach houses ability to accomodate all six of us with ease. The owner was amazing and was always available to answer any questions we had. She even went above and beyond to leave a little welcome pack for us upon arrival which was the sweetest touch to an already awesome experience.
