My family and I had a wonderful time and found the property to be perfect in many ways! It was clean and had plenty of space for the 4 of us (two adults and two kids). Super easy walking distance to the beach and a Mini Mart. We woud definitely stay again!!!

Vacation stay.
The property was nice and we had a great stay. The only thing negative was there was no skillets for cooking and only one small sauce pan.
