I stayed here with my brother and 80 year old mother. It was perfect! My mother was able to walk down the steps to be right on the beach, and when she didn’t feel like walking out, she enjoyed the ocean view and breeze on the deck. It was such a quiet, beautiful place to make memories with family. I am so thankful for our time here!

Great week spent with my high school besties! The house was so interesting & eclectic. The outdoor area was amazing!!! the proximity to the beach was perfect! Even my dog enjoyed it. We hardly left the house for any length of time. I would definitely come back to this place!!

The location of this property is literally worth a million dollars! Amazing! The family, including our dogs, had a great time beach combing and in the process we had the opportunity to rescue a wash backed green sea turtle. The property is great, well stocked, cozy and comfortable. The exterior and landscaping needs some TLC, but other than that we all had a great time and will be back soon!

This little beach house has a lot of wow factor. We stayed on the middle floor and there were views of the ocean and inlet from almost every room in the house. You can even hear the waves when you lay in bed. I can’t even began to tell you how nice the outside views were. It was like being on a small resort. There were so many seating areas to choose from to enjoy your coffee and nightly cocktails, and watch the ever changing waters with each tide.

Location! Location! Location! Literally steps to the beach and what a beach, we love to walk on the beach this is one of the best walking beaches we have ever stayed on. The outdoor area is fabulous - we sat outside and watched the sun come up every morning with coffee and the evening with a glass of wine. The inside is spacious and very clean. For me there was only one draw back and that is the musty smell of wood but for that location it is a very small drawback! We plan to come back again.

Our family of 3 loved the house and location. With a bunk bed and queen/full in one bedroom, and a king in the other bedroom, there were plenty of options for sleeping. We would have liked a few firm pillows, but got by just fine without. The beach and outdoor areas were beautiful. We had fun watching the birds and exploring the tidal pools. It was cold, rainy, and very windy during much of our stay so we spent some time indoors watching tv. Lots of good channels, and good reception. Heater/AC worked well to keep us comfortable. Would have liked a muffin tin to make blueberry muffins in. Beautiful view of ocean while doing dishes. Overall, great stay and would recommend!

We loved this place. We are a local family that wanted to spend the week before school went back in session at the beach. It was the perfect location. This section of the beach is perfect for families. As the other reviews mentioned the changing tides expose the sandbars and tide pools and made it really fun. We saw an octopus in one tide pool! Our girls, age 11, went to Marineland for a 1/2 day Aquarist Trainer for the day and loved it. They asked if they could do it again. We had really good dinners at JTs seafood shack in Hammock Beach and Back 40 A1A. I highly recommend this place! We rented the 2nd floor of the house. Each floor is rentable. At first I thought this would bother me but it didn’t at all. Our neighbors upstairs were as nice as can be.

Amazing views with a fully stocked kitchen. The use of the BBQ and washer and dryer were nice. We didn’t love the windows into the rooms so you had no privacy from anyone that is in the living room / kitchen.

Property is great and have stayed here for years. Great Views and Great Location. BUT we amended the stay by 1 day (well within the VRBO guidelines) and the owner won't make contact with us or VRBO to properly complete the refund. So......

The Penthouse was wonderful with a magnificent view of the sunrise over the ocean. It's was a beautiful quiet beach that felt private. There were many flocks of seabirds to watch. The house was well equipped in every way. We hope to return someday.

We could not have been more pleased with the location, the very tastefully furnished space, the ever changing Atlantic Ocean throughout the day, with its vast fluctuations of low - exposing sandbars and rock formations - and high tides, majestic panoramic views. and the privacy the beach area affords. Owners were the best, and quickly communicated. Our first getaway to this part of Florida will not be our last!

This beach is absolutely stunning. Very calm and not crowded. We loved the gorgeous deck and seating options. Perfect for watching the sunset! The king bed in the master was very comfortable. The kids loved the sand bars and the eco systems around the rocks on the beach. We plan on staying again in the future!

We came here to celebrate our 20th anniversary and it was perfect! We loved being in our own little world. The views from inside made us feel like we were in a boat on the ocean. We enjoyed our meals on the deck and our walks on the beach very much! Easy and helpful check in and communication with owners.

My family and I were between homes and decided to look for a vacation rental vs. a hotel. All I can say is that this house is PERFECT in every way. The house offers some of the BEST views on the coast. Sitting on the Matanzas Inlet, the property has panoramic views from every window. The owner is AWESOME; super friendly and very easy to work with; SUPER ACCOMMODATING! Given that we live in a beach town (but not on the beach); we'll be renting this house yearly to create more memorable family memories!
