Loved our stay

Property was exactly as described. All basic needs meet wonderfully. The house was clean, bed comfortable, good hot water, great air unit. Not one complaint at all. The Property being just a very short stoll to the beach was a plus. While we were here the tide stayed high (just had a very stroms come through and more churning in the ocean) so we either went to the point to have a "beach" to sit on or hung out on the steps that cross over to what is normally the beach by the house. The house is right by the light house so a lot of things to do and beach acesses to go to. I'm sure we will return!

Enjoyable experience

This apt. was just right for my husband and me. The beds were very comfortable. The couch in the living room is a futon. It leans back a bit but pillows did help. We did not use the kitchen except for frig and sink, but it seemed to have all that was needed to cook. It is close to the beach! We would stay there again.
