We had a wonderful stay at the beach house. The location was great, with a beautiful view of the ocean. The beach in front of the house was not swimmable however swimming beaches were just a short distance away. The complementary bikes were in great condition and made it easy to explore the area. Another standout was the latte machine. Starting my day with a perfectly made latte on the front deck while listening to the ocean was just what I needed. Room did not have a mini which I was perfectly OK with. I stored my refrigerated items in a large community refrigerator/freezer. The house was clean, property well maintained, and bed very comfortable!
