This is a lovely home with a beautiful, full width of the house, covered deck and 2 large patio doors that were sparkling clean upon our arrival. The neighborhood is quiet and birds serenade you. It is a 1/2 mile walk to the beach parking lot and eating establishments.

This was the perfect beach getaway. The home was clean and tidy. We appreciated the information on the fridge of the island. It helped us find a great beach spot. We brought our dogs and we were able to relax. Highly recommend this property.

Very nice! Didn't realize there was another rental property in the backyard so we did get a little scare when people pulled up and started walking under the porch to the backyard. Short walk to the beach. Would stay here again.
