Great Place

The house matched the photos: quite nice! Cleaner than a typical VRBO from our experience. Big bathrooms and plenty of space in the open kitchen-dining-living room area. An easy walk rom the house to the beach, maybe 5 minutes; and quick drive to grocery stores and shopping. We were a party of 7, two of which were kids 10 and 12, Everyone enjoyed this property.
