“We had a wonderful stay at this beach house! Our group consisted of 11 adults and 5 kids, and the house accommodated all 16 of us very comfortably with plenty of space for everyone. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. The blankets and bedding were fresh and clean, the entire house smelled nice, and we were especially happy that it was bug-free. The ambiance was relaxing and perfect for a beach vacation. The house was also very kid-friendly, and the kids had a great time. Beach access was convenient, making it easy for our whole group to enjoy the beach without any hassle. The host was fantastic, friendly, responsive, and great with communication throughout our stay. Overall, this was a perfect place for a large family or group traveling with kids. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!”

“A peaceful stay cation.”

“My family enjoyed our stay! With 3 kids, there was plenty of room for all of us. We loved our ocean view from the deck and short walk down to the beach.”

“We had a great time with the family! Memories made.”

“We had the best time staying here. You can see the ocean from the balconies. The kids enjoyed playing cornhole and using the beach stuff provided by the house. The beach is a hop, skip and a jump away! We are a family of 7 and still had an extra room unused. Kitchen is stocked with all the tools you need. Communication from host was fast. My kids said can we come here once every summer to this exact house?! We just might make that a thing! Highly recommend.”

“It was in a perfect location!!Everything was amazing although we did have trouble with the wifi but honestly it was definitely for the better!”

“This location is great for a big family! We came with 15 of us and could walk to the beach, cook meals at home and have plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beach. The air conditioner didn’t work when we arrived and they had it fixed within a couple hours. Be mindful that beach towels and additional linens aren’t provided along with an ample amount of soap/shampoo so you’ll want to bring your own beach towels like we did. And you’ll have to wash towels to get extra use of them, and want to bring personal shower items as there isn’t enough for the group they allot. There aren’t extra linens or towels, it’s only 2 towels per bed. Also, be sure to carpool as they only allow 4 cars in the driveway. There is no exception. The big store to grocery shop has everything you need to grab for your stay and local boutiques nearby are a great afternoon treat like the candy store and salty mermaid were a hit for our family. We also enjoyed fireworks Saturday night which was a nice treat.”

“We did enjoy ourselves here. However, I would like to say some of the amenities did not work. With a a family of six. And the home having four rooms only one bedroom had a working TV. While the living room TV worked, the downstairs bedroom did not. One upstairs bedroom did not. And the volume and the other upstairs bedroom was stuck at 45. The patio was unsafe near the picnic table and could cause liability. As well as as they’re not being any extra towels. Paying almost $700 and staying for four days and three nights I would think extra towels and trash bags would be provided. The listing was clean no issues there. They did provide a Keurig, but no Keurig cups. Instead, they provide provided coffee with no coffee maker. It’s the little things that make a vacation worth your stay. And how this was close to the beach with beach walking access no vehicle access. And this was big enough for my family. I did expect all the TVs to work. And I did expect more than two towels per room.”

“My family and I really enjoyed our stay with StayBeachBox, home was beautiful and really peaceful we loved relaxing on the outside deck at night while being able to hear the ocean waves. The big store was super close to the house and also the beach access was less than 3 minutes away. Beds were super comfortable, I would suggest bringing your own cover if you get really cold at night, kids loved playing with the cornhole wasn’t able to play ping pong due to some water damage on the table. They provided beach toys we also left behind lots so I wouldn’t worry about buying any. All in all we will definitely be booking this place again 10/10 !”

“This home is beautiful and lots of space for a bigger family. Neighborhood only has walking/golf cart access to the beach so a golf cart is very useful but not required. Host was extremely attentive and offering extra accommodations such as stay extension or late checkout to accommodate us. Would book again!”

“We had a wonderful stay overall and truly appreciated so many things about this home. We loved the open feel of the space, and the corn hole and ping pong gave our group of 14 high school seniors and moms plenty to do and made for such a fun atmosphere. We especially appreciated the owner being willing to host our group instead of immediately shutting us down because of the size and age of our group. The owner was also incredibly responsive to questions and requests throughout our stay, which made everything very easy and stress-free. A few suggestions that could make future stays even better: it would be nice to have additional blankets available for guests who get cold at night or want to cozy up during movie nights in. We also noticed that parts of the deck area and stairs seemed to be in need of repair. There was one particular spot where someone could have easily fallen through if we hadn’t noticed it beforehand. Lastly, offering beach towels for guests using the beach area would”

“We booked a last minute trip with another friend and had 4 kiddos (6 and under) We knew we didn’t want heavy traffic/party scene. This was perfect for that! We didn’t have to worry at all with the kids running and playing around.”
