Beautiful home and location

The house was beautiful and spacious with plenty of room for 9 adults. The location was perfect with the view of the ocean from the house and the bar and grill just down the beach. The hot tub was simple to operate and worked well. It was perfect for an early season stay. We spotted dolphins swimming in the ocean from the porch. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. Convenient location with short drive to plenty of restaurants and shops.
