Amazing Deck!

The house was awesome with a great deck. We loved how large the deck was and all the seating. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to just sit and enjoy the ocean from the house. The deck also has a nice gate on it. We were able to just let the kids play on the deck and it was awesome. Great for a relaxing week at the beach! The beach was great, but very, very busy. Cars are able to drive right up and park. We had lots of children with us and had read about how busy it was so we were kind of prepared for it. Overall we had a blast in the water and watching from the deck. Also, be prepared for jelly fish. Multiple people in our group had small stings, but one of our daughters got stung by a larger one, multiple times. Make sure you have vinegar ready. I would also recommend getting the linen package. We expected the beds to be made but they were not, which was a little frustrating but not a big deal. There were a few places that could have been cleaner, but overall we were very happy with the house. A great ocean front property!
