After climbing the dune, youre rewarded with a very short walk to the beach. We could have brought 4-5 more people with us, plenty of space so the 5 of us never felt ontop of each other. ##### Ellen B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James B. May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Mother’s Day weekend. Fantastic house, made for a great mother’s day and celebration for my wife’s birthday. The house does need a little tlc and the air conditioning in the upper living area was not working making it a bit warm for sleeping. But otherwise the house was exactly what we were looking for. ##### James B.
