An excellent vacation spot...clean, comfortable, cozy, and close to the beach. We enjoyed the stay very much, and although only steps from the beach, it was quiet and close to everything we needed. We'll likely return!

It is obvious that the owner loves the property. The property had everything we expected and it was as clean as a pin. Access to the beach was quick and easy and sunsets are a must right out the front door. We hope to come back soon and often.
