Beautiful house! Perfect beach access
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved that we could walk to the beach. The pool was fun for the kiddos and it was so nice that it was literally right to outside our door. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. Beds were comfy too! We would definitely return. It was the perfect stay for our family of 6.
