Perfect for small family.
This place is clean and cute. If you're looking for modern sheik it is probably not your style. Its a little 80s ish but we loved it. It checked all of our boxes for a family of 5. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, full useful kitchen, and a washer dryer. The cabin was very clean. Great location , 2 minutes from the beach parking. Quiet location. I would definitely re-book this cabin. One thing it needed was an old fashioned coffee maker- but it had a Keurig machine. It was pretty much a 5/5 for us. No surprises.
