Great house, super clean!!

We would definitely stay here again, the house was a perfect fit for our group of 10, and it was super clean! It was a bit of a hike to the beach since part of our group was two and three-year-olds, and they just require so much more heading to the beach like a hand held, being carried, or in the wagon, but not too long of a walk when the group is self sufficient on taking their own stuff.
