Great beach house
Exactly as pictured. The hot tub was hot and in the ground. The fireplace downstairs works. The beach is around the corner. The house was beautiful. The owner gives you beach chairs access to bikes to ride asking the sidewalk. A cooler to use. Beach towels. They thought of everything. I would rent from here again!

Comfortable home in a great location!
We loved our stay! Location is great! Very comfortable for the amount of people we had! So nice that we didn’t even use one of the bathrooms. Kitchen was nice and spacious! Questions were answered very quickly. It was a wonderful trip!
