Staying at Michelle’s has absolutely ruined me for any other place. The house was better than the pictures. The beach? Just breathtaking. We had two young children and being able to walk back and forth from the beach so easily made the trip so much more relaxed and enjoyable. Such a great place and we look forward to coming back!

We had a wonderful stay at the beach house! The home was beautifully decorated and had so many amenities, including local books to read and a fully-equipped kitchen. The home was peaceful and private, and the beach was uncrowded. At night, you can go stargazing! We can't wait to return!

The house was stunning, the floor plan was great, plenty of room for the kids to run and play. The boardwalk to the beach was wonderful and an easy walk, there were even some toys provided. Everything was lovely and peaceful. We had a great time.

The house was really nice, well equipped (what a kitchen!!) and spotless. The porch was absolutely amazing!! We spent a lot of time there. Just wish you could see the ocean from the porch….that would make it perfect! (Maybe trim back some of the foilage?) The area under the house (complete with private outside shower), sink with running water and a hose, made this a great beach house!!
