Wonderful place, especially for my family. Driving down the private road made it feel exclusive. Adequate parking for two vehicles. We were pleasantly surprised that the carpet in the main living area (as seen in the pictures) had been replaced with new flooring which made the space feel larger and airy and the paneling was painted white which gave it a fresh feel. The view and location was the main reason why we booked and it does not disappoint. We had a perfect ocean view while sitting in the living room and an even better one while having breakfast or an afternoon beer on the lanai. The private beach access made it feel like our own little getaway. There's a large tree on the beach so there was no need for beach umbrellas as it provided enough shade. Because the beach is surrounded by homes there were hardly any one else around so it was like you had your own beach in the backyard. It is a bit of a walk (20-30 mins) to shops and eateries which isn’t that far if you like walking, but anything you need is a quick (5-10 min) drive away.
We were warmly welcomed by Debbie and later met Angelene. Both hosts were amazing. They were hospitable and very responsive. The welcome basket was a nice touch with coffee, fresh fruit and snacks to get us started. We were provided with a kid's table where our little ones (3 y.o. and 5 y.o.) could eat and color and a kiddie pool for our 6 month old that we brought to the beach for him to sit in. There were beach toys and boogie boards to use. An outdoor shower to rinse off in and our own washer and dryer were a definite plus. Since there were no renters in the big house for our last few days we were allowed to use the swimming pool which made this stay 10x better.
The space could use some updates but nothing really notable that would make this place any less enjoyable. It’s more like nice to haves such as AC, updated appliances, updated fans in the bedrooms, nicer fixtures (which can be challenging since the salty air can take a toll), better drawers (in bedroom and kitchen) and nicer curtains. For what we needed this place was more than adequate. It was very clean and provided clean linens and towels. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer “home away from home” and our hosts played a big part in that. Thank you.
