Right at Home

We were a group with two adults and two young girls. From the time we opened the door to our “home” for the week, we felt relaxed and welcomed. We received a cute welcome gift and everything we could possibly need was ready and waiting. The house had all the essentials, great WiFi, cable networks, comfortable beds, water pressure, friendly neighbors, and a quick walk to the beach. We had a bonfire the first night for s’mores, played frisbee in the backyard, bubble blowing and grilling on the patio. There are a lot of beach towels, a big beach wagon, space for everything you bring. The area is very quiet and very dark - if you bring your doggo, bring a flashlight for night walks. The 5 yr old said she didn’t want to leave because she loved the house so much. We agree!
