Love the location of this house! Oceanfront and close to a lot of places you can drive and walk to. Every room is detailed and has everything you need. Mattresses very comfortable. The porch is excellent, including a grill and comfortable furniture. Will be returning in the future!

This property is amazing, love the covered outdoor space, the gazebo is amazing and the pool and distance to the beach is priceless. Right next to public access so lifeguard is right there. Recommend getting a canopy service for the week and you will be in heaven.
