I love the water—ocean, lake, whatever. Having our back door open to a canal/marina was terrific, and being only a block off the beach made it all the more amazing. We took long daily walks, on the beach, up the road to John's Pass, through nearby neighborhoods, or all the above. It helped that the temperature was 100 degrees warmer than at home (counting wind chill!). The owners are great and very responsive. The delicious homemade ice cream next door was a huge bonus!
