We loved the location and the access to so many fun things to do. From the lovely view at the home, to the short walk to the ocean, to the many games available; this was a great place to vacation. It was also a very nice jumping off point for our outdoor adventures. The home was well equipped for all our needs and we really enjoyed our stay
Very lovely property and grounds. Lots of space. Clean. It is a beach house so mildew smell is common. We addressed by simply keeping the house aired out and I always bring a dry Z air to the beach. I recommend bringing fire starter like kindling and a lighter. Also bring some paper plates and silverware. There were plenty of clean dishes to use. And hand washing isn’t a big deal as long as you are prepared. Kids room seems cozy and arcade room was a nice bin-us. I would add a curtain to upstairs bathroom and possibly some different chair options for easier portability. Overall it is a beautiful beach home with a priceless view and quiet, serene space.
