Great House

This home fit our family perfectly. We loved the open space where we could be together, but also the large spaces and bedrooms for us to have privacy as individual families. The bathrooms were so spacious! This was definitely one of the best vacation homes we have ever stayed in.

Wonderful

The house was very clean, comfortable and close to the beach. The only negative was that Google maps took us to the back of the house where there were no house identification. After walking up trail to the house and discovering we had to walk around to find the front of the house , we discovered the correct road to the house.
