The rental was clean, well-equipped and a short walk to the beach. Also, it has an ocean view out the dining room window. Having said that, the view was somewhat compromised by a telephone pole and lines. This was erased in the photo in the available photos of the property.

Great Stay and Location

The house was very clean and easy to get to. The location worked great for us because we had family camping at Dillon's beach, but we did not want to camp. This allowed us to be close enough for all the fun but had all the convenience of a home.

Perfect little spot for a little weekend getaway. Walk to the beach was not too bad and definitely worth not having to wait in the line to drive in. We ate at the little cafe a couple times and it was so yummy! We hope to be back next year!
