Great vacation spot with younger kids
My family enjoyed our stay here very much. We have a 1 and 2 year old and the shallow water and smaller waves of the bay behind the house was fantastic for them. We spent every morning playing in the water and sand. Then the evenings we would walk the beach and enjoy the beautiful sunset.
