Great pet friendly beach home

Great stay and our dogs got to enjoy our beach vacation with us. The house is spacious. The beach is literally down the street and the neighborhood is very walkable. Everything we needed was in the home. The backyard was a good space. It was easy to drive to the downtown area from the home. Highly recommend if you have pets.
