Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Reason to stay at the beach My husband and girls have stayed in EI before and this was my first time. The area is very quaint with easy access to shopping, golf and fun things to do. Without being right on the beach we were very close and could take a 3 minute walk to the shore. The house was very cozy and well stocked with kitchen appliances, a washer and dryer, gas grill ##### Lori H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jemima H.
