June 2026

Our stay at “Kind of a Big Deal” was wonderful. The house was located off the beach but was a direct short walk to the beach access. By not being on the main road, it was very quiet and peaceful and just what we wanted. It was plenty large enough for our big family. The kitchen was probably the best equipped kitchen we have ever had in a vacation rental. The beds/mattresses were all very comfortable. The outdoor pool/bar/lounge area was very nice. After spending hours on the beach we could come back to the house for lunch around the pool and it was a nice bonus to be able to watch the World Cup games while enjoying the pool area. We had the marsh on one side and I was pleasantly surprised that we didn’t have issues with mosquitos but we did see deer and lots of birds. The host was very responsive whenever I had any questions but we had no issues with the house itself! I highly recommend this home and host.

Really nice rental. 3 minutes to the public beach access. Well stocked with comfortable furniture/beds. Anything you could need in the kitchen. We had a couple of issues, and the rental company was quick to get back to us and resolve.
