Lovely house, great location, very well-equipped kitchen, many wonderful amenities. The elevator was a life-saver for the two grandparents. It’s a shame the two parking spaces by the doors aren’t wider. The house was generally very clean and well kept ( with the exception of the master shower on the main level which could have been cleaner.) Great deck furniture and fabulous beach access.
