Great Time!

Everyone enjoyed the house (12 adult women). Close to everything & didn't have to drive.

Great location!
5/5 stars
Perfect for a group. It was super comfortable and close to everything. We walked to the beach everyday. It was only a 2 minute walk to the beach. It's right behind one of our favorite restaurants, BLVD Seafood.

Just What We Needed
5/5 stars
This house was perfect for my family. It has 4 apartments each with their own bathroom and kitchen. So, we were able to hang out and share meals as family by day and at night my adult kids each took an apartment with their families and my husband & I took and apartment. It was perfect. It is across the street from the beach and right behind BLVD Seafood - one of our favorite restaurants. We walked to Pleasure Pier (it only took 6 minutes to get there from the house). Parking was in the back of the house but could only fit 4 smaller cars. Our host happily gave us a parking pass for the street. We will surely be back!

Perfect for 3-4 Families Traveling Together
5/5 stars
What I loved most about this home was the set up. It has 4 separate apartments. We took this vacation with 3 different families. Each family had their own apartment which included a living room, 1 or 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 full kitchen. It was just perfect! The kids all camped together and played games. We were able to cook and eat together, hang out and then go back to our own apartments at the end of the evening to shower and sleep. The location is across the street from the beach. We even let the teens walk to the beach alone. Pleasure Pier is a 5 minute walk away. One of our favorite restaurants, Blvd Seafood is directly in the front of this house and The Spot is super close as well! We enjoyed everything!

We will be back!
5/5 stars
We stayed at Paradise by the Pier this weekend and will be back very soon! The house is very cute and decorated beautifully. The beds were comfortable and it was kind of home away from home. There were extra blankets and pillows to accommodate our large group throughout the house, which was greatly appreciated. The kitchens are a fully stocked kitchen with stove,oven, and utensils. The Pleaser Pier can be seen from any of the front rooms in the house. The ocean is visible from the front porch and it was perfect to relax and watch the sun rise. The location is a 1 minute walk to the ocean. This location is perfect for the group of kids that we took with us. This is the perfect stay for large groups or family vacations! Can’t wait to come back!
