The place was comfortable and had reasonable access to the Dunes area as it was in town near the beach (within short driving distance). Would stay again for the price, general location, and quality of the home.

We enjoyed our stay! Clean, organized, and had *almost* (missed having a toaster, but that was okay) everything we are used to in a vacation rental. The owners were very communicative and welcoming!
