The house was gorgeous! Luxury all around. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were wonderful with a refreshing showers. The kitchen was well-outfitted for cooking and serving. There were several gathering spaces with very comfortable seating. The guest suite over the garage was just as luxurious as the rest of the house. I highly recommend this property for groups/families.

This cottage on East Beach was a wonderful place to stay over New Year’s. It is elegant and the bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is very well-stocked and the giant dining room table makes you want to cook dinner at home, even though there are so many great restaurants only minutes away! The location is unbeatable - you can walk to Gould’s inlet for beach access in a handful of minutes - and the pool in the fully-fenced backyard was lovely. We also loved the separate guest house over the garage - great for someone who wants their own space! I would caution renters with older (or very young) family members that some of the steps are steep (particularly to enter the house) but everything else is absolutely perfect. Would rent this house again in a heartbeat! Thanks to Ryan/Lighthouse Vacations for a great rental and very prompt replies to any questions!

The house was exactly as described and even nicer than in the pictures. Communication with the host was quick and helpful. We enjoyed our Christmas at the beach with all of our adult kids and grandkids. We'd definitely recommend this beautiful house to others.
