Spectacular Views from both the house and nearby beach. While a short walk the dunes and uphill return will challenge you but it will also help you work off the good vacation meals. The one thing I would have appreciated would have been a small bar of soap for the shower. It may have been mentioned in the very detailed information to bring your own. We brought shampoo but missed any memo on soap. No biggie really, went and purchased some. Know this truly is a 100 year old property and the stairs are very steep but once you make it upstairs there is a beautiful view from a sitting room and one of the bedrooms! Don’t put you 6ft plus family members upstairs as the bathroom is really tiny. Our son who lives in Chicago called it an “city bathroom” Overall a very nice stay!

Hope to stay again next year. The view is great. The house is great. The dune is a tough march for small kids but the beach access was as good as I could hope for.

If you are looking for the quintessential beach house vacation, look no further! The house is adorable and the views are spectacular—even better than the pictures! The walk to the beach is easy—and the beach is beautiful. We took many long walks on the beach and the weather was warm enough (apparently hot for mid-May) to swim. Despite the unusually warm weather, we did not need the air conditioning because the breezes in the house were delightful. We are already planning a return visit in the fall.
