Twice in five weeks!
This was our second stay in five weeks. We love how close the location is to everything but just far enough away. The house is big and spacious. Love the pool and kitchen. Our favorite spot by far!

Perfect beach getaway
The house was perfect! Clean and well stocked. There were 14 of us and we had plenty of room. The kids loved the fenced in back yard and pool and the ocean was only about a block and a half away. We would definitely go back to this house again!
