The property was spacious and clean with an exceptionally stocked kitchen. The deck is huge and the the yard being fenced with a gate directly to the beach was beyond the perfect set up for me and the dog.I spent most of my weekend either on the beach or on the deck!

Wonderful staycation!

Loved this house for a family/pet friendly getaway. The yard was wonderful and the private beach access was the icing on the cake. The owner is very open to communication and accommodating as long as you ask her! Parking was very easy and kitchen gadgets are plentiful. The kids AND adults loved the arcade game machine. Good luck beating those top scores!
