We really enjoyed our stay. The space was more than enough for our family of 10. The location was perfect, with a short walk to the beach, and the pool was a great way to end our beach days. The elevator made unpacking a breeze. The property also has all the things you need for a beach day so you don't have to bring chairs and all the extras.

Everything you need and more!
What an amazing rental home! Everything was so cozy, clean, beautifully decorated and love the porches were so private with the trees. The view from the master to see the ocean and the sound view on the back porch! Will definitely come back!
