Very nice property close to the beach.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at the property. It was about half a block to the beach, an easy walk or quick drive down to the shoreline. The property is very nice, clean and well maintained. The views from the balconies are great and a relaxing place to see and listen to the waves. A very comfortable and welcoming home. We look forward to visiting again in the future.
