Wonderful stay!!! We were there for 7 days and loved it. When we entered, there were fresh tulips on the entry table. The house was lovely with beautiful, beach-vibe decor. The couches were comfy, with lots of pillows. It was nice that hangers were in the closets, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower, and a big relaxing porch with a hammock. Nice view of the ocean! Good breeze.
The seawall along the beach in front of the house made it a tad difficult to walk onto the beach. We had to climb down the rocks to the water, but once there, it was great (when the tide was low). The water was wavy and warm. Looks like the city is building stairs for access (or the stairs were destroyed by the waves), but they aren’t finished being built yet. Once complete (or fixed), access will be far easier. A public beach is only 1/2 mile away. Parking is free, but if you want to drive onto the beach (which we chose to do), it’s only $12 for a pass that lasts until Dec. The beaches were wonderful, and we literally spent every day on the beach. We brought a canopy and glad we did.
Mosquitos are bad this time of year (June 2021) with all the rain, so we wish we’d brought mosquito spray when at the house. But there is a small grocery store 1/2 mile away, which is super convenient.
There aren’t ceiling fans in the rooms, but the kids’ room came with a stand fan. My family HAS to have a loud fan to sleep, but we planned ahead and brought two fans from home, so the lack of ceiling fans weren’t a problem at all. The AC worked great, and I loved the chandelier in the living room.
The back door and sliding door was hard to open and close. The beds were super comfortable, and the TV was great (we brought a Roku stick, which worked well with their WiFi).
We went out to eat twice while vacationing. Our favorite place was the Seahorse Bar & Grill. It’s right on the beach and the food is delicious. Service could’ve been better.
We stopped by the jetty 3 nights in a row, and we made our way down to the rocks to the left of the jetty, where there’s a beach. In between the rocks are hermit crabs, which were fun to find. Def go to the jetty if you have time.
Overall, fabulous rental and location. And the owner was always quick to respond to any questions.
