The bungalow is within a warm, welcoming and quiet neighborhood. The private beach access s great and includes restrooms and showers. The communication with the host was wonderful and Nancy responded immediately to any questions or issues that we had. We would have loved to stay longer but the property was booked.

We had the most amazing time at this beach house! It was the perfect blend of cozy and spacious—plenty of room for our family, but still felt relaxing and homey. The house was spotless when we arrived, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could possibly need, from beach toys to kitchen essentials.The hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful.
