This really is a great house in a perfect location. No thru traffic, beach walk a step away, beach not crowded, private. Great location for kids. Ours ages (2-11) bring bikes, scooters, and no worries about traffic. The deck is awesome. Neighbors are great.

A wonderful Beach Home, well equipped with many beds, a beautiful pool, Hot Tub, and outdoor showers! A perfect location led to a short path directly to beach. We went early June when the ocean & the pool were very cool & refreshing. As a final touch the elevator helped with heavier luggage. A real plus!

Beautiful, expansive home. This was our second year renting this home and it didn't disappoint. The proximity to the beach access is fantastic, the pool was refreshing, the home and kitchen were well stocked (double ovens, double dishwashers, so many different pots, pans, and serving platters, and every kitchen gadget you could think of), and the amount of things to keep a family busy were perfect. The older generation benefited from the elevator. The younger generation benefited from the game room! Love sitting on all of the deck areas and seeing the ocean.

We loved the house. The beds were comfy.
The pool was great. The hot tub was great. The wrap-around porch with chairs was great. The walk to the beach was nice and very close.
We enjoyed the top floor, kids loved the den. Very nice house.
Very fast response to what we needed. Thank you.

Ocean Break was the perfect house for our vacation! Everyone had their own bathroom and space. The kitchen had everything we needed for a quiet week away from home. The beach access was easy and close. The beach was quiet- not a lot of people (it was March). I am looking forward to renting this house again in the future.

This was overall a nice house. The layout was great for the size of our group. The game room was nice and all the bedrooms were a good size. Especially liked the handicap features in 2 of the bathrooms.

This is a magnificent house for large families, with plenty of spaces for togetherness or for moments of relaxation alone, as needed. It is beautifully decorated and there are entertainment opportunities for everyone (beach, pool, hot tub, arcade games, corn hole, etc).
