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.

This house was great! The kitchen was amazingly stocked. It had small pots, large pots, a cookie sheet, serving bowls, every thing we needed to make Hopping John for New Year! I can't think of anything derogatory. I just wished it was warmer so we could have enjoyed the screened porch more.
