Karen: "The location is to die for... striking street lined with pretty homes and friendly people and right on the sound. We walked everywhere from this location. It was fun to see other people walking their dogs, walking to eateries, taking early morning jogs and greeting the sunrise on the beach. We picked up marvelous acai and yogurt bowls from Adapt Kitchen and Juice bar and ate them on a public gazebo looking over the sound. This is the life!"
Stephanie: "As someone who has lived at WB, location is everything. This home is right where you want to be! Loved having the screened in porch. Kristal went above and beyond to accommodate my family and pups needs and was so responsive.."
Tina: "First of all, Krystal was an amazingly responsive and accommodating host. We had all of the info we needed, complete with locals-only suggestions and personal touches to help us appreciate the beach. The bicycles, fenced yard, darling home and striking screened porch made our stay so comfortable! The neighborhood is enchanting and the neighbors are fabulous. The description is so true, you can walk to everything...and we did! We can’t wait to go back again. Thank you, Krystal!!"
