"Beach Bliss" takes center stage on our wrap-around deck, offering front-row seats to mesmerizing views and picture-perfect sunsets.

With not one, but TWO beach access points in the neighborhood, consider your beachcombing dreams fulfilled.

And when the day's sandy adventures come to a close, rinse off under the cabin in our outdoor shower, a refreshing prelude to an evening of hammock serenity.

Great place, loved how close it was to crystal beach for those morning walks! The place had very useful amenities, like the outdoor shower area and grill. Loved staying here!

Derek & Lauren are the most elite hosts! They were so proactive in information and helpfulness from the moment we booked to post check out. The house was easily to find, and looked exactly like the photos. The amenities were fantastic too—a hot tub, outdoor seating and table on the upper deck and main floor also my kids loved the hammock. The location could not be better—it’s literally a small walk to the beach and so serene. You can see the ocean from the deck. Would totally come back.
