Liked: Cleanliness
Great house and location within walking distance to private beach. So appreciated all the beach chairs, umbrella, wagon etc…for our daily beach days! Perfect size house for our family including teens who had own spaces upstairs. Lots of time in the wonderful screened porch too. Hope we can stay here again next summer.
