We absolutely love this cabin!! We have stayed here twice now and we will definitely stay again!! It rained most of the day Friday, but it was okay because they have things to keep you entertained. We played ping pong and hung out in the hot tub. This cabin is very clean and organized and the host is quick to respond and even gives suggestions of things to do in the area. Giving this rental

The property was just as photo shown. The owners were very courteous and attentive. Always available if we had any questions. They allowed us to check in a little early which helped tremendously and was greatly appreciated. I recommend this to anyone. Very close to the beach, short walk and lots of games and fun stuff to do.

It was an amazing experience. We had a really relaxing time.Everything was great, and we didn't have any "bad surprises". You have exactly all details listed on line. Plus, if you take some time to read the house's guidebook and follow the instructions, you definitely can get your time without difficulties. Everything is in there.Our two toddlers enjoyed every minute here. Kiddos have a lot of fun and things to do inside and outside. Family-friendly? For sure it is!Communication with host was fluid and gentle. Really nice people.100% recommended!

An unforgettable beach getaway!

Our stay at this beach house was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how spacious and beautifully maintained the home was. It had absolutely everything we could possibly need, it was like the hosts thought of everything before we even had a chance to!And talk about location! Just a couple minutes walk and our toes were in the sand! It was the perfect setup for beach days with the family, and we made memories that will last a lifetime.The amenities? Endless. From fully stocked kitchenware to beach gear, games, comfy beds, and cozy spots to unwind—it was like staying in our dream beach home. The kids had a blast, and the adults had their relaxing moments too (which says a lot!).A special shout-out to our hosts who were absolutely AMAZING—friendly, responsive, and checked in during our stay just to make sure we were doing great and didn’t need a thing. Their hospitality made everything feel so welcoming and easy.We’re already talking about booking our next stay. If you’re looking for a beach getaway that feels like home (but better!), this is the place.

Fantastic family (including the pups) getaway

We had a fantastic summer getaway at The Runaway! The house was exactly as advertised and in a wonderful quiet neighborhood! We experienced a day of rain but didn’t mind it at all with the game room and all the amenities that kept us busy! We would definitely stay here again!

Great House Horrible Couch

This is a great house to say at. So many extras with the hot tub, ping pong table, fooseball table, ect. The beds were really comfortable and clean. The only problem there was nowhere to sit comfortably inside the house. First off the rental listing shows a comfortable sectional couch with two chassis lounges and a counter height table with cushioned chairs. But they have been changed with a with lower table with metal chairs. This is not so much an issue, the table is cute and a better fit for the house than what originally showed in the listing. But the new couch is horrible. The cushions are thin and the base is metal bars. After about five minutes of sitting, you can feel every bar. Even my wife and kids complained about how uncomfortable it was. While we really enjoyed the house, the amenities, and the location we would not have booked this house had we seen the actual furniture we would be arriving too.

Birthday at the Beach

This was the perfect surprise get away for my husbands birthday. Our two kids and our family friends and their 3 kids all stayed so comfortably in this space. If you’re staying over new years the fireworks on the beach was so fun to watch and the view from the house deck is perfect. Hosts were friendly and considerate and did everything to accommodate us to make sure we had the perfect time. The beach was such a short walk away! Highly recommend a stay here!!
