At the beach

Great location, steps away from beach. Numerous eating choices 15 minute walk or 3 minute drive. Pool and hot tub at advertised temp. Plenty of space and clean throughout.our first time Vrbo so didn’t know what to expect. If you are cooking they have all cookware, coffee maker but you’ll need filters and everything else except salt & pepper. Not even a bottle of water !
