We always take extra stuff with us when staying at places. This places provided extra toilet paper, garbage bags, beach towels etc. It was a nice touch, we also loved the Nespresso Machine….we will be purchasing one for our home! The location was great! Quick walk to the trading post and also the sea food place right next door!! Can’t get any closer to the beach and a quick drive to the bay! I love to paddle board and was able to paddle on the gulf and take a 2 min drive to the bay! Sunsets were gorgeous! They even had a nice bed for the doggies!
