Reviews

Much needed getaway! This gorgeous cabin has everything you need to escape. Kitchen was stocked, linens were fabulous, and the decor was perfect. The cabin was clean and cozy. The view was breathtaking. The hot tub was the perfect end to the day. Thank you Lisa for offering to share this incredible space with us. You really thought of everything!

Lisa and Mark were amazing hosts! I could always count on clear communication and prompt replies to any questions. The home was very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located a short walk to the beach. After talking to each person in my group of 6, we have no reason not to highly recommend this home! We will definitely book again.

Lisa and Mark were great! Super attentive and easy to communicate with. The house was perfect. Super clean and plenty of room for our trip. Just a small walk over to the beach. Everything about this stay was perfect!

Great place to stay was super relaxing. Nice and clean at arrival and the host answered all questions. Even worked with me when I needed her to. Great location as well everything was close by beach within walking distant. Would highly recommend. Great stay overall we loved it.

We had a great stay at Lisa’s beach house. She was very easy to work with and an incredibly fast communicator when we had a couple of minor questions. One of the best hosts we’ve experienced! The house is perfect for a beach getaway and our family of five was very comfortable and happy!

This is a great house in a great location! Lisa and Mark are very quick to respond and are both extremely communicative. The house was incredibly clean and well taken care of. Just a short walk from the beach and it was easy to get anywhere we needed to go. We cannot wait to return to this lovely home!
