Overall a great place to stay for a week at the beach!! What I liked: - Across the street from the ocean with great beach access. - The beach was NOT packed with people. Plenty of space to spread out. - The house had everything we needed including nice grill, fully equipped kitchen, and garage where we could keep the beach stuff. - Plenty of space in the house. Loved the big dining room table. - Restaurants and shopping close to the house.What could be different: - Shower in bath upstairs was too small and sprayed all over the bathroom if the door was open. - Furniture in upstairs living room is uncomfortable.
