Loved the location and the actual property. We sat on the rocking chairs and then took the VERY short walk to the beach. Then back to the rocking chairs. We spent the whole time outside.
Really good beach front property was able to walk out to the beach to go fishing. Only thing was the bed was a little high and creeky but other than that my wife and I had a great time! Would recommend!
