We loved being able to walk out our door and have the beach right there. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable with a view of the water through multiple windows. The shower had great water pressure with plenty of hot water. There were chairs for the beach which we appreciated. We thoroughly enjoy our stay here. ##### Audrey R.

Steps away from Beach and revitalizing scenic views and warm water to enjoy all day long. Neighborhood made the stay extra comfortable as it offered pure quickness. The home offered both indoor and outdoor dining options. Overall two thumbs up 👍👍 Will stay here again . ##### David R.
