Perfect Location for Family Trip

We loved staying here for our beach family trip! It was close to the beach, playground, and several great places to eat! The house had everything we needed for the whole week and it was so nice to sit on the porch in the afternoons (in the shade!) to listen to the waves on the beach. Great week at this house!

A charm of a house.

The house is beautiful clean and well stocked for all your vacations needs. We were able to enjoy our time on the large deck that is facing the ocean and within a very short walking distance away from the beach. I would highly recommend this vacation rental.
