Lovely home and great location

Our family of 8 adults had a wonderful time at the Cheven house. It was very spacious with all the amenities in the house that you would need. The ramp to the beach was practically in our backyard. Unfortunately, due to an instance beyond the owners control, the pool and hot tub were not able to be enjoyed the week we were there. The owners quickly offered a more than acceptable remediation. Looking forward to our return next year.

Great beach access

Very short walk to beach, roomy house with ample amenities, attractive neighborhood setting, within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Would return again.
