We loved the layout with the living area being in the center with 2 bedrooms and a bath on each side of the living area. We also enjoyed the covered porch facing the ocean and the enclosed area for our dog to walk without having to hook his leash.

We absolutely loved this place! It was just a short walk to the beach access, which made it so convenient. The house was spacious, with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and everything was exceptionally clean. The front porch offered amazing views, and the comfortable chairs made it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. If you’re looking for a place to stay, this is definitely a top-notch choice. We would highly recommend it!

The view and proximity to the beach can't be beat! Beach access is just a couple doors down and across the road. The fenced in area under the deck is a great feature, our dogs loved it. We hope to rent this house again soon!
