The Rathershacks
We stayed at The Rathershacks "Happy Shack" and the place was great. The place was very clean and the appliances were very nice and actually worked. There are all of the essentials just as stated. The beach amenities are great, not junk. There are so many towels for the beach and inside. The owners are the greatest and very helpful. When we go back we will most definitely check their places first.

Perfect location!
We could not be any happier with our stay!!! The property was exactly as pictured, clean and stocked with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The walk to the beach was easy and short. Beaches are clean. You can even walk to town. The town has typical beach shops, restaurants (the lost dog breakfast 😁👍!!), ice cream and an awesome coffee shop! Access to the highways to explore the area are near by as well. It was our first trip to the area...highly recommend!!

Exactly what we were hoping for
This property was everything we were hoping for and more. It was clean, quaint, and most importantly, close to the beach and Center Street. Katherine and her husband also supply their properties with a whole sheet on recommendations in the area, which we utilized quite a bit. The house also came with some beach accessories, including chairs and an umbrella. We would definitely stay at the Rathershacks again

Was just what we needed. Peace and quite. Weather could have been better but no controlling that.
Home was just the right size for two. Think it would be a bit cramped if there was another couple. The home was well equipped. There was a little fly issue. Not sure where those fly’s were coming from might want to look into. We could not find lighting for the back yard and we grilled in the dark. Might want to change that.

Girls weekend
Booked a short stay for a girls weekend with my daughter at the Surf Shack. Short walk to town and even shorter walk to the beach! The weather and food were perfect. Some of our favorites were: crab legs at Snapper Jacks, shrimp salad at pier 101 and tacos at Taco Boy. Thanks for the hospitality!!
