Love that the beach is literally steps away and there’s not a large dune obstructing foot access or views. Makes it so nice that our grandchildren can easily run up to the house to eat, restroom or nap and not have to pack up and drive. The house is clean, tidy and has plenty of room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This home is perfect for anyone wanting stunning views and enough room to really enjoy the time with family. Plants of beds and space to move about and still feel comfy. I would however say that it was evident it was pet friendly, as there was white pet hair on all of clothing and we had to be careful about it accumulating in balls that would roll across the floor every time the door was opened and the wind came in. There is also no place to put your clothing as there are no dressers in any of the rooms. We were left to place our clothing in stacks along the bedroom walls and again the pet hair would be on it. Other than that this home is perfect in every way and if you want a top of the line rental this is it.
