Beautiful home on wonderful beach

This home was perfect for our us, our kids and grandkids ages 8-13! We loves the open floor plan, floor to ceiling windows and huge extended deck. We watched at least 10-15 whales breaching and splashing each day. The watee remp was perfect for boogie boarding and stand up paddle boarding.The beach seems almost private, not congested at all.We had several corn hole tournaments on the spacious back deck and loved the gas bbq.All bedrooms were very comfy and the bunkroom was a huge hit with the grandkids.Close to stores and dining spots.Property management was very professional and responsive to our questions.We can't wait to return to The Waves next year!

Ocean at your feet

It was so fun for all . Lots of places to cluster together and visit. The issue with the heat down stairs was resolved quickly with the fire wood and it worked fine .

Beautiful Views

Really nice location if you want to stay right on the beach! Gorgeous deck views. One of bedrooms is a loft so privacy is limited for a larger group.
