The house was clean and beautiful and suited our needs. We especially loved the closeness to the ocean and the ample parking and storage under the house (for beach chairs/ fishing pools etc). The only negative was the bedroom on the main floor was advertised as a King bed. It was not a King. ##### BARBARA S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron M.
