Perfect girls weekend
This house is perfection ! My daughter is getting married so the ladies wanted a quick beach trip before the big day. We had the best time , beach right across the street (easy access) , downtown for dinner and entertainment , then roof top wine at nighttime. Owner and manager were so helpful and made things super easy. We will definitely visit again

Amazing home w/ some disappointments!
First of all, the house is breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL! The rooftop sky deck is unlike any other! We had an amazing time! I am a very positive, upbeat person & do not tend to complain, but there were a few, shall we call them, disappointments? These didn't hinder our wonderful time together, just surprised us b/c of the amount of money we were paying to stay there & the fact that they were so inconsistent with the grandeur & upkeep of the home. It truly surprised me. I know things break down/run down, but some of these concerns have been this way for a while. Perhaps the owners were not made aware. The disappointments...we were hoping to grill out ALL of our meals. A house of this magnitude would certainly have a very nice *gas* grill...nope, just a small, older charcoal grill tucked away in a far away place around the back of the house. So, we didn't grill anything. We've stayed in much smaller, more inexpensive homes that have gorgeous gas grills for us to enjoy in the summertime and wintertime. The lovely master bathroom shower has a v-e-r-y slow drain, so we were standing in ours & the person who rented before's *leftovers* (hair & who knows?) while showering. We were going to take off the drain cap & clean it out but just couldn't bring ourselves to do it... Lastly, the kitchen floor is sinking in front of the sink. Perhaps there has been water damage, rotting floor, but it does need to be repaired. It catches one off guard every time you pass through, & one of these times, it may cave in. I'm assuming it's been this way for a while? It truly caught me off guard each time I stood at the sink. The house is beyond AMAZING! These disappointments were incredibly inconsistent with a rental home like that. I would definitely stay here again but hope that these things get some attention so other guests can enjoy everything to the fullest!

Loved This House!!!
Booked this house for myself and bridal party (7 bridesmaids).This house was so spacious, clean, and comfortable. Everyone who came to visit was in awe! I was given a thoughtful gift upon arrival and the hostess even brought over a steamer as she was aware that it may have come in handy when getting ready for the big day. I would definitely book this property again.

Beautiful Home, Views, Great Times
The home was all we expected and more great time the views are breath taking from the castle next door to the Ocean to the west across the street. Also you can catch some amazing sunsets from the roof.

Why they chose this property

We just finished this property as a retreat for my family. The location is absolutely perfect and the views are surreal. The house really came together nicely. We decorated and built almost all of the furniture ourselves to really capture the Coastal Elegant look we were after. This is a upscale luxury rental and not the typical beach house.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to 2 restaurants and directly beside Castle Otttis. Beach Access right across the street. 1000 square foot Sky Deck on the 4th Floor.
