Family vacation
This was our 3rd year staying in this house I come with my husband, kids and grandkids. We love the atmosphere, no crowds and the small beach town feel. My grandchildren range from 10 to 28 and because we have the bay and beach, everyone is able to enjoy. Great place if you just want to relax and enjoy your family.
