House has a BUNCH of room for groups & families. Great seating on the porch for visiting and enjoying the sunrise and sunset. Relatively close to walk across to the beach. Beach toys and beach mat in the storage closet were an added plus! Only thing I didn’t like was the dog/pet fee was 195 dollars for our 3 night stay.
