    Me and my two grown grand daughters

    We had a nice time walking the beach every night. Very short and easy walk to Swimming and walking the sand bar was wonderful. This place felt like all my visits to my Grandparents house in Houlton Maine as a child; 1960 era; Very rustic but charming. Price was fair.
