The dining area has charming banquette seating, and the fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need for preparing meals at home.

The home comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests with a flexible sleeping arrangement. Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 each feature full beds, while the sunroom—converted into a bonus sleeping area—includes a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a daybed with a trundle. The living room also includes a queen sleeper sofa for additional guests. Two full bathrooms ensure convenience for larger groups.

The layout of the home is nice, and the kitchen and bathrooms seem like they’ve been updated recently. The kitchen had everything we needed, and it’s only a short walk to the beach

Fun and convenient

This is a perfect location. Easy to find off the main road and a couple blocks from the beach. The place was super clean with lots of towels and bedding. All the appliances worked and we had everything we needed to cook. I would stay here again!

We only stayed for one night there due to power failure at the property. On Christmas eve afternoon, half of the unit lost power. The fridge was turning on and off every second. The microwave and the stove were all out. Luckily the management company was able to move us to another nearby unit or else we would not be able to make our Christmas dinner. Overall the unit seems ok except the power issue.
