Had a beautiful porch with a nice view of the ocean. It was just steps from the beach. We had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend.

Best place for large families!

We had everyone from ages 2 to 65 with us and this was the best trip and best house to accommodate our needs! The house was so clean upon arrival. It had all the necessities needed. The decks were very safe for our little children! The space was very well utilized to accommodate large family! Everyone slept comfortably in their own bed without needed to bring air mattresses. Access to the beach was super easy and so convenient being able to drive there. We will definitely book again when visiting!
