“We enjoyed our stay at Hannah’s home! The living room and bedrooms were very spacious, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The front and backyard were definitely highlights, and having a gated area for our two vehicles was a huge plus. The home is about a 15-minute walk to the beach and only a 6-minute drive to the Strand. We had some trouble connecting to the WiFi the first day, and the upstairs thermostat wasn’t working, but there were plenty of fans available. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are steep, so use caution, and we noticed a few soft spots in the flooring. There are only two TVs, one in the living room and one in the primary bedroom, which is something families traveling with kids may want to keep in mind. Overall, we appreciated the amount of space, outdoor areas, stocked kitchen, secure parking, and convenient location.”

“We traveled for a funeral, so this stay ended up being such a beautiful bright spot in the midst of a difficult trip. ❤️ The host was incredibly understanding of our travel circumstances and made us feel welcomed. There were no reviews yet because they had just taken over management of the property, but the pictures were accurate, the description was spot-on, and the place was just as beautiful as advertised. Our host, was absolutely accommodating. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend giving this place a chance, especially if you’re looking for a beautiful, comfortable stay with a great kitchen.”
