Everything was as described. Right on the beach and just steps to the water. A beautiful view from the massive windows in the LR. We will return for sure!
Owners very responsive & ensured our vacation was awesome! We were looking for a place so close to the beach that going back and forth wasn’t a chore and this place delivered. We hope to stay here again on our next visit!
House was clean and renovated and steps from the beach with huge back deck and plenty of beach toys for the kids and beach chairs. The owners are wonderful people and replies to any questions very quickly. We had a great stay.
