Perfect stay!

We are so happy with our stay and this property! The house is so pretty, and it is the best location just 30 second walk to the beach via a designated entrance. The neighborhood is super quiet and well kept and clean. The house is well stocked with all sorts of cooking and baking items, blender, mixer, coffee machine with Keurig, as well as lots of games and puzzles! The only thing we would like to have seen/found was some sort of beach items…chairs, towels, outdoor games, etc. Those like us traveling from over 4 hours away could benefit from knowing those weren’t available…and it’s lots less headache to bring or buy when we arrive. Minus that, everything was perfect!
