This is a great house with lots of space for everyone to spread out. We loved being right on the beach! We enjoyed using the hot tub and walking down to the sand whenever we wanted. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location close to big store for groceries but still far enough out. Spacious rooms with beautiful lounging deck. Adults enjoyed the hot tub and kids loved the beach access literally under the house.

Beautiful property! Loved the hot tub right out the door with amazing views. Be sure and bring beach towels as they are not provided at this rental. This beach location is way less crowded than several miles down the beach. So nice. We would stay here again.
