Calming shades of teal and beige blend with earthy taupe and brown to make you feel relaxed, grounded, and ready to fully enjoy your vacation. The living room is lovely and spacious, with lots of room to relax on the huge sectional sofa or lounge in the comfy chair and watch TV. Put on a movie or watch the big game! The TV is equipped with cable. This home is perfect for special occasions and holidays. Feast like a king in the magnificent dining room. The impressive wooden table is surrounded by 6 wicker chairs with cushioned seats and accented by the chandelier above.

The outdoor shower is also here, complete with a storage caddy and mirror, so you can get clean and sand-free when you return from the beach. The 2nd patio (accessed through the garage and 3rd bedroom) is the perfect place to just chill out, have a cold drink, grill whatever you like, and relax with friends and family. When it's time to get cleaned up, enjoy 2 full bathrooms both with beautifully tiled showers.

Couldn’t have been better!

My husband and I had a great time. We recently had our 4th babygirl and a vacation was much needed. We celebrated with our brothers and sisters. The property has everything we needed, it was super cute on the inside and especially outside. It was in a perfect location and I would stray there again.

Beautiful House, close to the seawall

The house was beautiful. It is off a very busy street and there is no parking, They expect you to park in the street. There is no designated area to park either. The house is on the corner so it is right at a stop sign, so that limits parking in front of it. There is a very small driveway on the side, that I can barely fit my jeep wrangler in. People park beside the house and again a very busy street. They have a side yard that they could very easily make in to parking. I would stay here again if they resolved the parking issue but unitll then it would be a no!

Birthday weekend

The house was comfortable, beautifully decorated. Location was ideal for the seawall, and a short drive to The Strand. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Cute House but Neighborhood

The house was cute an our mini vacation but upon arrival I noticed the house was not clean. They never cleaned before our arrival and the prior guest left several notes letting us know about all the issues they had with the house. One of the pillows has a blood stain the restrooms where not clean at all. The linen on the beds were not switched around and the floor were dirty. I immediately called and no answer but I did leave a voicemail. Within 20 minutes I was contacted by the cleaning company and they apologized for the inconvenience. They did send someone out to come clean the house. The young lady was very nice and professional. She took care of the house and was very apologetic. The house was overall good for what we needed. The neighborhood was a little sketchy since part of the house looked like someone’s car hit the left side of the house. There was a car broken into across from the house. The house does offer a one car garage that will fit a small car or small SUV. Parking is limited in the area so be careful if you park outside. Overall there are plenty of good food and places around the neighborhood. Close to the beach and plenty of choices for shopping.
