I love this property. My family has stayed here 3 summers. It’s comfortable, well equipped and you cannot beat the location! One house away from the beach access and the section of beach is not crowded.

About 135 steps from driveway to beach! Super convenient! Quiet street, everything you need in the kitchen. Can hear the roar of the ocean night, even with the windows closed.

Very convenient location to the beach on a very quiet road. House was plenty big enough for our family of 4.

Very roomy, plenty of dishes for cooking and serving. As close as you can get without being right on the beach.
