The location is what you’re paying for. Imagine waking up each morning and being the only one on a breath taking beach. But beware …. The smell of the water coming through the plumbing smelt like raw sewage and the mold/mildew from the house being closed up was a bit strong. A couple of hours with the windows opened allowed us to sleep peacefully with the waves in the background. Be prepared with a case of water, and candles and you will be set. This is not meant to be a negative post…. Just want others to be prepared.

Private Spot on the Beach

Love this property. Stayed for our 30th Anniversary. Amazing views from the deck. Just steps from the water. Great AC and appliances. Comfy furniture. No interruptions. It would be a ideal place for a couple and up to two small children. Very cozy and within walking distance of two restaurants.
