Our family of 5 stayed for spring break (April 2-6), and the property was perfect. Close proximity to beaches and downtown, easy parking, and a beautifully designed historic home. We had a teenager, kindergartener and a baby, and had plenty room to spread out. The appliances were all new and extremely efficient, so we did laundry and washed dishes each day. The hosts were extremely helpful and communicative. Thoughtful touches like offering beach chairs and a sun umbrella just helped the excellent experience. We will be back for sure!

The house was beautiful with very comfortable beds. All of the necessary amenities were included (beach chairs, towels, etc). We had an issue with accessing the property on the first night. The key code provided did not work, but the host responded within an hour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The home was exceptionally clean, tastefully furnished, and very comfortable throughout. The gorgeous wood floors added so much warmth and charm to the house, and the tile flooring on the front porch was especially lovely and unique.The host was responsive, accommodating, and wonderful to communicate with from beginning to end.
