We could not have been happier with our stay. We can’t wait to stay again at this property. House is absolutely gorgeous. Everything is so well thought out and almost anything you could need is provided. The house is stunning and brand new. I have never stayed in a cleaner Airbnb. The private beach is stunning and location could not be better! The whole house was so calming and a perfect trip
Great home. Wonderful kitchen!! Loved the location. Hope to come back.
We had a truly wonderful stay at The Tidepools. Our group, which included three generations, enjoyed the beautifully decorated social spaces, incredibly well stocked kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. The spotless, stylish interior was surpassed only by the gorgeous surroundings, including the back yard beach and many stunning spots just a walk or short drive away. Franny and Luke were the consummate hosts, who made sure we had everything we could possibly need and were super responsive. Thank you for a memorable stay — we hope to be back!
