We loved this house! It was updated very nicely, everything appearing and feeling new. The views and access to a fantastic beach cannot be beat. It was a little off the beaten path, which made it so peaceful out there. We would absolutely stay there again.

Perfect coastal getaway

The home is updated, comfortable and beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. The home has a pathway directly to the beach. We went as a big family of 9 and fit comfortably and the dining table was perfect for family dinners; we’ve never been able to eat all together at one table and we could here which was a great plus. The house also is perfectly next to the community amenities like the basketball courts and hot tub. Steps away from the ocean and amenities makes this house a great option for big families interested in doing different things. We would definitely stay again.

Prachtig uitzicht op de oceaan, ruime woning, huis is gelegen vlakbij het gemeenschappelijke zwembad, ideale plek voor ons 3 nachten verblijf met 2 gezinnen. Handdoeken voor het zwembad aanwezig, was handig! Ook de wasmachine en droogkast zijn een plus! Leuke vakantie gehad!
