Just what we needed...
About as close to perfect as a beach rental could be. Great room layout with 3 corner bedrooms and a central entertainment/family room with adjacent kitchen. It's just a very short walk from the beach, too. We had a great time. Thank you.

Very nice place to stay
Nice house close to water. It was very clean, and had a convenient kitchen for breakfast every morning. TV’s in every room with Netflix, Disney +, etc. for everyone to enjoy. Really good pizza place just up the road within walking distance. The only downside to our trip was the ceilings on the bottom floor are apparently very thin, and there was a family with two toddlers and two dogs above us that apparently never really slept. With that being said, I would still absolutely stay again.

We love Lighthouse View!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd year staying at Lighthouse View in a cottage. It’s great to have the option of pool and restrooms to change even before our house is ready. Although checkin was at 3 or 4, our house was ready at 1:30. They send a text which is wonderful - no need to check back with them for updates. We love the keypad door locks so there are no lost keys to worry about and the children can come and go easily. Although I mistakenly booked a “pet friendly” cottage, there was no evidence of pets inside or even outside. The entire property feels very safe, guests are very friendly, and it is quiet at night. The beach is very healthy - ghost crabs, cochina clams, minnows in the surf, and no trash in the sand. We like that we do not have to bring bed linens and extra blankets are available without having to ask. I do prefer the towel exchange over washing towels while we are there but also appreciate the washer / dryer on site. One of the best features are the dumpsters located throughout the property - no hour of garbage truck going house to house loudly dumping trash cans in the wee hours of the morning! Great for families with so many options of room configurations that you can stay in a different unit each time if needed but still know what to expect. Great location overall and the price is even better for the size and amenities. Highly recommend!

Cozy cabin
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice place. We had 5 guests and a dog and we had a great time. We didn’t see easy beach access and had to climb over the sand bags. Not a very wide beach area. We did visit for New Year’s so beach access wasn’t a big issue for us. One area on the steps was not lit very well but manageable. You will hear upstairs guests walking around. Make notice of your bill because if you bring a pet it will not show on your final statement but it will show up on your credit card - verbiage does state that you will not receive a final statement. No elevator. Overall a nice stay and I do recommend.

Quick Spring Break Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall great experience! Only complaint would be the beach the property is on is pretty much washed away and held in place by large sandbags. If the website called that out, I missed it. Was not a trip killer, just a missed expectation of not having to pack up and go to a different beach each day. Sun rises were still beautiful!

Long Time Lighthouse View Customer but maybe not any longer
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to this Lighthouse View Property for about 20 years now for our annual fishing trip. Lighthouse View People are great and so are the facilities. I AM NOT a fan of getting constant emails regarding our reservations and for reviews. I like hearing from someone and not an automated email. This WILL be taken into consideration as far as continuing to use Lighthouse View for future trips.

The unit itself was sufficient for our long weekend stay, plenty of room. The reservation process was easy and the app used for check-in and questions during the stay made it a breeze. Would recommend.

Reviewer Comments: I made reservations for Oct 18, 19, & 20 7weeks in advance. when I got there they had double booked and the room we were suppose to be in was not available. They put us in a different room the first night and then another room the second night we did not stay the 3rd night to be moved again. I was very dissappionted I have stayed there many times for fishing and for work. It was inconvenient and aggravating.
