We had a great time!! it hasn't been sunny, but we definitely enjoyed the beach while we were down here. We went to the strand and enjoyed eating on the seawall. It stormed the last day of our stay, but we loved watching the waves at the bay house! Overall, just a wonderful, relaxing, vacation!!!! Thanks so much!!Did you find this review helpful?
