Great layout with every bedroom having its own bathroom! This is an incredible house for families! They have every you need for the beach towels, chairs, boogie boards, toys, etc. The location is great as you cross a one lane road to the beach and you are minutes from all the restaurants and attractions on the island.

Our family utilized the house for a Thanksgiving week gathering and it was great. Rooms were exactly as described and pictured. Access to the beach couldn't be simpler. There was a bit of car door noise with the parking on the sand - Ocean - road, but nothing disturbing. Close to two restaurants and minutes from historic downtown.

Our second year enjoying this home for our family vacation, it was a great space for lots of families, including little ones. The screened porch is idyllic, the "roof top" patio was such a haven, and the sand play space under the house entertained our pre-schoolers for hours. The bathrooms have been updated, as well as other nice "freshenings."
