This property will not disappoint! Perfectly clean, well stocked and I love that it has such a comfortable, homey feel. I love being at the beach and there are some nice houses to visit but if you want to feel "at home", this is the place for you. The beach is right out your door, the deck is awesome.

We loved this place! Having a beach right out your door and the deck to just sit and enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. Not to far to many different places. When we had an issue with the washer and dryer they were there in minutes and very nice. Being there in the winter there were not alot of people which was a plus for us. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Just be prepared for the mosquitoes if there has been rain. The owner was so kind and lots of good advice for our trip. We would love to stay there again!!!

Great Beachfront Getaway!
Bella Luna was beautifully decorated and the perfect size for us! There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 3 teenage boys! The two king rooms were perfect for the adults couples and the queen over queen bunks were perfect for the boys. Did I mention that each bedroom had its own full bath? Very nice! The kitchen was stocked with all of the dishes and cooking utensils we needed. There were even dog dishes set out for our Bella (the dog). If that wasn't enough, it was beachfront and very private. Whether we were looking for seashells along the beach or relaxing on the deck, we loved every minute! We can't wait to go back!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful beach house with my family and I. My Sons and their families plus my sister and her husband had the best time! What a perfect location and the deck area is where we spent most of our family time playing games and relaxing to the waves rolling in. The beach house was exactly as described and very clean. We did not need anything as it was stocked well. All of the beds were extremely comfortable and we had plenty of room. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Beachfront Spot
We loved our stay at the Bella Luna house. We had 7 adult, 1 infant, and 2 dogs and we were all comfortable in the space. By far the highlight of the trip is the outdoor deck. It was perfect for our son to crawl around on and the dogs to enjoy the ocean breeze while being safe and gated. During the day this was a go to hangout spot. I will say the mosquitos are pretty terrible here at night so one recommendation would be to always leave the lights off outside and wear bug protection if you go out. The kitchen was equipped with anything we would have needed and we ended up cooking most meals at the house. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of towels and such for all our guests. We were lucky enough to get perfect beach weather the entire trip. Only thing I can think to say is that some cars drive way to fast on the beach so keep an eye on your kiddos and pets. We would definitely rent this place again in the future!

Beautiful stacation
Loved spending the weekend their to celebrate my husband's birthday with just a few of us. Only downside was that we spent quite a time killing roaches, maybe the house spent some time alone without guests but it was definitely annoying especially when they are the big flying kind. other than that, the time spent waking up to a sunrise right off the beach was amazing and having beach access was top notch! Would love to see the other rentals they offer for the near future.

Great layout, Great location
House has a great layout with each bedroom having it's own bathroom. Right on beach and not crowded in that area. Beautifully decorated and well stocked. Rated it lower in cleanliness, not because it wasn't clean. For the most part, it was spotless. Apparently there were some shoes and some toiletries that were left from the previous renters. I assumed they were the owners so left them where they were, but I was called on my way home and told to turn around and pick up my stuff.

Relaxing Stay, Great House
Spent a long weekend with the family and enjoyed the weather. Great space for a big group with plenty of areas to congregate, but plenty left over to find a secluded spot for a nap. Only hiccup we encountered was that the coffee maker wasn't working for the pot side on our first morning, but we called the number provided my management and had a new replacement delivered within a couple of hours (very early in the morning). I'd also recommend picking up a big bag of ice at the store, or bringing some ice trays, if you enjoy your beach drinks on the rocks like us. We emptied the fridge's small-capacity icemaker after about an hour on the first day, and it couldn't really keep up with our pace. Overall a great house!

Great location and view. The beach and water were perfect for our 3 generation family trip. Nice that each bedroom had it's own bath. As a group who traveled from out of state, it was disappointing to not have chairs and sunshade available for use at the beach.
