We spent a long weekend with adult kids and significant others. There was plenty of room for everyone. The location is amazing with excellent beach access. The outdoor space is really special-lots of comfortable seating and wonderful views. The house was exceptionally clean and well maintained; very comfortable beds too. The kitchen was well supplied which was great because we didn’t want to leave the beach. We hope to go back!

Our stay was fabulous! Location! Location! Location!
Beach access was a 10! House Views gorgeous! Loved the outside decks and comfortable furniture. It was a perfect house for our 90 year old birthday boy and our 3 month old baby boy along with his 3 year old big brother. We will be back!

Overall our stay was great and the house is beautiful. It looks like some recent outside updates were done and that was nice. If I had to give any feedback it would be that for the price it would be nice if the two upstairs rooms were a little more updated. Everything else was wonderful
