Perfect Beachfront Property, as advertised! Spacious rooms, lots of amenities, gorgeous porches (covered and uncovered), porch swings, easy access to beach with outdoor showers, fully stocked and functional kitchen, large great room that can accommodate the entire family, not to mention multiple bathrooms--this was the perfect location for our large family vacation.

Very nice and clean. Loved all the porches. Even though it was oceanfront, it was hard to see the ocean unless you went to the second and third floor bedroom porches.
