It was wonderful!!! The house had everything we needed, super close to the lake, lots of space for a big group, and a huge yard. Couldn’t have picked a better place!!

We loved this house! Being on the water was perfect for 4th of July and the house is quite large. We cooked and played games and really enjoyed our experience here - I’d rebook this place in heartbeat.

The place is wonderfully located near the beach and stores, making it convenient for everyone. The view is truly impressive, and the spaciousness allows comfort and togetherness, which my family really appreciate.

Tranquil and such a cute home! The patio is awesome and where we spent a lot of our time listening to the creek flowing and enjoying the setting! Highly recommend this location.

FAQ

Yes, our oceanfront rentals offer direct beach access and are located just steps from the water.

Beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach gear are often provided at many of our oceanfront vacation rentals. However, they are not a standard amenity across all oceanfront homes. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.

Many of our oceanfront vacation homes and condos include a private balcony or deck with stunning ocean views, along with water views from many of the rooms. Although that is not standard among all oceanfront rentals. We recommend looking at all the photos and taking a property’s 3D tour to make sure the property offers the amenities you’d like.

Some oceanfront rentals, especially those located on popular beaches, may include an outdoor shower or designated area to rinse off sand. This is not a standard feature across all rentals, but is more common in properties where guests participate in beach and water activities. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.
