Amazing Getaway!!

My wife and I stayed at Idle a While Beach House along with my sister in law and her husband for 8 nights. Location is amazing! Very close to a grocery store, shopping, and restaurants. We did take the "ZR" van/bus's a few times which was very easy and opens you up to even more places to go! The beach is amazing right off the property and nothing beats enjoying a cocktail while watching the sunset every night! Kitchen is well stocked and closets had extra linens if needed. Only complaints we had were the 2 single beds often pulled apart and there wasn't much in the name of blankets at bedtime. A very small nit pick in the big scheme of things! Windows and doors are all equipped with metal bars for security and cameras are viewable from a monitor inside the home. Overall a great experience and we'd be open to returning in the future! Thank you Liz for hosting and to Little Lex for being very responsive and helpful throughout our stay!
