Great little vacation place. You can see the pictures. Let's talk about the thoughtful touches you can't see. This was a family vacation for ages 79 to 2. The entrance has wide sturdy stairs making it easy for older guests to navigate safely. We found toddler friendly plates, cups and dinnerware. The beds are very comfortable. AC works great. For tall travelers. the shower heads in both bathrooms are tall enough to allow you to actually stand up to shower instead of stooping over to wash your hair. Enough covered parking for at least 3 cars. Nice location close to the beach but not in a party neighborhood. Peace & quiet the entire week. This is our second year to vacation here. We will definitely return.

Location Location Location, we were so close to everything including the Beach. We went and had the propane filled for the grill and enjoyed dinner a couple of nights.
