Perfect home.

Very nice 4 bedroom home with a large loft with a king size bed and personal bathroom and deck. We loved this home. It was our first time getting a home on the ocean side right on the beach. It had a very relaxing and homie feel to it. It was perfect to us! I will say. If you’re not a morning person or just want to sleep in a little. Do not sleep in the loft. The all the windows and skylights will have you up at the butt crack of dawn! Lol.

Great home

The house is great, 5 bedrooms including a bunk room for the children. House is located on the pedestrian beach, which is perfect for families who want to walk to the ocean. The house was well stocked with dishes, bring your own spices and paper goods. Overall a wonderful home and I would stay again.
