  Julie and Darren have an absolutely beautiful beach home with so many amenities and an awesome fenced-in back yard; we brought our dogs and they loved it, especially the little... read more sand area! Julie and Darren are very responsive and extremely nice, and provided so many useful items to ensure our stay was comfortable: doggie bags, everything for cooking, Keurig/k-cups, games, streaming services, blankets, books to read and so on.

An amazing, perfect vacation with our family and pups! Thank you!
