We loved our time here. It was beautiful inside and out and very clean. The neighborhood is quiet. The pool was just big enough for our family of three and we appreciate how well it was maintained. We were so close to the beach that we just put on our shoes and walked- no need to pack a thing. We would stay here again- we would bring a pasta pot and a lamp or two for the living room, but that's not a complaint by any means.

This place was great for myself, my husband, and our 23 month old! Safe, quiet neighborhood with a quick and easy walk to the beach. The house was clean and comfortable, the backyard was SO relaxing, and having a private pool was the cherry on top. We'll definitely stay here again. The hosts were also very accommodating and quick to respond to any inquiries.

We needed a place to work, swim, and enjoy some sunshine together. The place is a block from the beach and has direct access so no car is required once you get there.

The place was very clean upon arrival. Our kids loved the pool and swing in the backyard. The neighbors are extremely welcoming. Walk to the beach is short and easy to manage with children. Brock’s communication is great. He answers text messages promptly. Overall 5 star place and we hope to stay there again.

Wonderful Stay
This property was great for me, my husband, and our two year old. The property was clean and felt safe. The pool was really nice and it was great that it was fenced separately from the back yard. It was a short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed it and would love to visit again!

Beautiful little paradise!
My husband daughter and I absolutely loved our stay at the Beach Barn. The pictures on the website does not do the property justice. The location is perfect! So close to the beach. The back yard was our favorite place to spend our stay. We loved the pool! Perfect size for 3-4 people. On reviews everyone mentions the big tree in the back yard, that is because it is beautiful! The house is small but perfect for a small family. Comfortable, clean and has all the commodities needed. The neighborhood is upscale, the property is surrounded by beautiful houses. Brock was responsive and a perfect host. We will definitely comeback again. I highly recommend this property.
