"Clean home in a very nice beachfront location. Was great for our group. Thanks !"

Happy Clam Casa Oceanfront Beach House w/Private GuestHouse

10/10 Excellent

"The deck right on the ocean was fantastic. In the guest house, they have a real Ms. Pac Man video game! Our family had a lot of fun having an ongoing arcade battle. The only part of the listing that I disagree with is that it says it “sleeps 8”. Unless you have teenagers that are okay with sleeping on a sofa or a roll out bed, this house sleeps 6 people comfortably. We loved our stay at the Happy Clam. "

HAPPY CLAM OCEANFRONT 5BD/3.5BA

10/10 Excellent

"The property was great. Location perfect. Kitchen and livings spaces including bedrooms were great. The list states 4 bathrooms, there were 3 bathrooms with toilet and another room was shower only so that was a bit miss leading. However layout and space was great. We would boom again. Host was very responsive."

2 Blocks to Beach: Dog-Friendly Oceano Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Everything with the reservation and entry into the house went very smoothly. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, eating and cooking utensils and cleaning supplies. Loved the location to the beach, stores and restaurants. It was a surprise to discover an additional toilet in the shed with the washer and dryer. It was very convenient when you are in the large back yard. The note on the back door was helpful regarding the trash day and instructions. I would stay there again."

OCEAN VIBES with Mountain Scenery and distanced Dune View!

8/10 Good

"Property was well stocked and clean. While the surrounding area is not the nicest, it was quiet and we did not have any issues. We also liked the proximity to the beach and dunes. Downstairs toilet ran constantly, day and night. TV remote did not work, but we figured out how to use the TV without it. Garage door was left unlocked, and did not latch unless locked, which we did not know how to do. Beds are quiet firm, which may be someone's preference, but not mine. Communication was not needed during our stay, but I also did not receive a response when communicating the above issues after check out. Overall we enjoyed our stay."

"The house was perfect for our family of 14."
