The ideal location for parents with teenagers. They could come and go to the beach as they pleased. Walk to shops, ice-cream parlor , and snacks. Quiet neighborhood. I wish the pool was a little bigger but it was perfect for me.

Very much enjoy the stay, great location, easy walk to beach, coffee, IMO one of the best beach coffee shops and Resturant above on the beach. Pool is nice to have also. House needs a couple of early season maintenance items (downstair ceiling needs repair from old leak, on of the pool lights is not working. Would recommend and will probably booking again later in the year.

Lemon Drop Inn was a big hit with our family

The adorable neighborhood and closeness to the beach (2 minute walk) could not be beat! The small private pool at the house was perfect for the 5 year old twins, and we all enjoyed the community pool across the street. So many restaurants close by to choose from too. We watched both the sunrise and sunset a few times because it was so close. One family member was in a wheelchair and we were able to make it work for them in the first floor bedroom.
