Guestbook comments from the host:

Amazing house!! Perfectly setup for multiple families. Very easy access to the beach and great ocean views from the second story. Can't wait to come back again next year!


Dec 2019

A wonderful home for our family and in-laws. Great bedrooms with private baths. Nice kitchen and living/dining area. Easy access to the beach. Pool is VERY small; great for small children. Neighborhood pool is lovely and not crowded. Several of the bedrooms need new mattresses. They have some sag to them. I would definitely recommend Sleek Retreat; and with new mattresses, this would be a 5 star for me.


Aug 2019

Beautiful, roomy, cozy...very clean.

Amazing Retreat

This property is amazing! It met, if not exceeded, our expectations. The rental company was very easy to work with. Everything was exactly as stated. The concierge, Carrie, was such a fabulous resource. We will definitely return!
