May 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A beautiful location walking distance from the beach This was a family Easter break with my children and grandchildren we all had a good time going to the beach and exploring the beautiful beach and coastal drives The beach is walking distance from the house which was great as we had two children under 5 who could have stayed there all day The house was perfect for us very home from home with everything you need suppled the only down fall was the 10 o clock check out especially with the children but definitely would stay here again ##### Bernie M.
