Crows Nest 2 was the perfect house for a week on the beach! Everything was perfect . The house is super clean and everything worked just as it should. The front deck is amazing, we was out there for breakfast and lunch almost everyday. If I had one tiny criticism…it would be the twin mattresses. They are pretty uncomfortable, but nothing that would keep me front renting this house again. Thank you again for an amazing week!

Thank you Harris Vacation Rentals for a great beach house vacation! We enjoyed our stay and the million dollar views!

Right on the beach with a shower for washing off all the sand. Definitely worth the expense though it is pricey, but thats normal for a vacation destination. Everything in the house worked great, except for a minor hiccup with one of the stove burners, which I informed the property owner of.

With Covid settled down, we thought we would take our kids for their first beach vacation. The Crow's Nest was the perfect location. Right on the beach, spacious, and far enough off the main strip, but a very easy drive to restaurants, state parks, and attractions. Sunrises drinking coffee on the porch and sunsets eating dinner were the perfect way to unwind. The house was clean, well stocked, and the property management company was very communicative. We will definitely be back!

This beach house is in a great location with wonderful views of the ocean. We found the property to be needing maintenance, however after reporting the same, there was quick response and commit to fix. We would come again to this wonderful spot.

We had a great stay on our vacation! The house was in just the right spot for us. Not too close to the hustle and bustle of town but not too far away either. We enjoyed the quiet of the ocean and saw lots of dolphins. The house was clean and was perfect for our family.

This little blue cottage was perfect for myself and three friends. The covered deck was the best. We were able to watch the dolphins and black whales from the comfort of this COVERED deck. The two main bedrooms were comfortable for us. The bunk room is definitely for children and not comfortable for adults. So it really is two bedrooms. The cottage was very very clean and the living area big enough to spread out and still be comfortable. We all wished we had an umbrella and beach chairs, a must for enjoying the beach. Our arrival was met with not being able to use the code given me to open the door. It was very late and cold while we waited almost 2 hours to be given a correct code to open the door. Other than that, this was a perfect house for us

We had a great stay at the Crows Nest and had excellent communication with Harris Properties throughout our stay. The place was in a great (and quiet) location and an easy walk to the beach. I speak for my whole group saying we could have stayed on that patio one more day! Thanks again for the hospitality. I highly recommend it.

Loved everything about the house, the picture showed a yellow house and it was blue that is the only difference in the listing. We had beautiful weather, view and it was great being so close to the beach. It really does have everything you need except food. was pleasantly surprised to see they had boogie boards, the kids enjoyed that.

Location

by Kam
The property itself was awesome! Couldn't ask for better location. It's own private path to the beach, or access right next to it. Minutes from everything. Property was exactly as listed on the listing. Very clean. Only issue was a couple of the vents in ceiling needed to be repaired. They still worked, but one was being help up by duct tape. Overall excellent value for price point!

We worried about the hurricane Marco and Laura, but were pleasantly surprised we weren't effected by them. Our favorite moment was enjoying our son and daughter-in-law and two year old grandson who live in Arkansas. We made a lot of great memories!

The weather was gorgeous, a little rain everyday but only for a little bit and we made the best of it by playing board games. We made a bunch of tik tok videos with the employees at the hangout.

The Sinnett Family

by Joshua
Our family travels down every year from Chicago to visit family. We stayed at Crows Nest and swam, boogie boarded, went parasailing, took family pictures, celebrated Sam's birthday, saw a blood moon, took walks on the beach at night, ate a lot of popsicles, laughed a lot, and made the best memories!

Socially Distancing

Crows Nest II

by Carol
Our family really enjoyed this property. It was great because the kids could have their own room. It was exactly as described and in photos. The home was clean. The kitchen had what we needed in addition to what we brought to bake Christmas cookies. The older dvd player did not work with the newer tv (hubby says they weren't compatible) . We knew going in it was to be cold and rainy, but it stopped raining enough to have several walks on the beach. We enjoyed being able to enjoy the deck and walk right out onto the beach. We'd love to come back again soon!!
