Check in directions were straightforward and I had no issues getting into my room or finding the place. Host was very responsive!

Parking was assigned but other occupants decided not to utilize their assigned space and took ours. Be prepared to clean the studio before you leave to include dishes and take out the trash.

- "Upon our arrival we were given a numerical code to get into the rental. It did not work! We tried a number of times as to no avail! There was a couple that told us this has happened to them and showed us a back entrance jacked open by a brick! That’s how we got in! Secondly , we had a difficult time with the a/c. It barely cooled the unit! Finally, after spending a day at the beach, I went to take a shower. The shower handle was stuck and could not turn on the shower!! We had plans to go to a nice dinner but had to cancel!!!! We thought they would send someone over to fix, but no!! The next morning I got a text asking what time we were leaving. Adam wanted to send someone over then !! A little too late!! We left very disappointed!! "

Will stay here again if we decide to go back to Connecticut!!" - "We recently stayed at this home for the second year in a row. Again this year, we were pleasantly greeted with a welcome basket full of goodies to enjoy during our stay and a personalized note! We love to open the doors to the brightly colored walls and beach décor. This home truly has everything that a traveler would need on a beach vacation. The house is kept very clean, neat and organized. The many air conditioning units make it easy to stay comfortable on hot days and nights.

We all love the entertainment closet, full of puzzles, games and barbies! The house offers at least 15 bikes of all sizes and skill levels so each family member could ride to the beach! Our children loved the gaming system and the many television streaming services. Outside the home, the fenced in back yard is excellent for small children and we made use of all of the outdoor games, sidewalk chalk, ladder ball, etc.! We loved the outdoor shower and nearby clothes line. The hose also came in handy for rinsing off our sea salty items. We enjoyed the fire pit and made use of the outdoor grill and seating on the patio area nightly. We were so fortunate to make Meg and Jason’s house our home away from home for another year of memories at Hawk’s Nest Beach!"
