Great house and enjoyable place to stay for a long weekend! Good location and beautiful views. I would pack some pots and pans if you plan to do any serious cooking as they are minimal but kitchen is appropriate for the size of the house

We had a wonderful wknd. The yard was perfect for grilling and chilling with our pups. Everyone slept comfortably and complimented the room settings. The a/c blows cold so that was satisfying. It's close to a free public boat ramp, which was perfect bc we brought the boat. All in all it was a great time! We'd definitely stay again. Thx Amy!

This is ideal for families and small children. It is so close and such an easy walk to the beach. It was ideal for my family- we could go back and forth all day with no issues. The extras they provided were so great. Chairs, wagon, umbrella and fenced yard. We loved it! We were a family of 6 and 2 boys 4 & 2.

Very nice property! It was perfect for our party of eight. We had all of our meals in the house due to a well stocked kitchen and plenty of stores nearby. Beds were all very comfortable. There were lots of extra blankets, plenty of beach towels and bath towels. We sat around a bonfire out back and made s’mores until tummies were full. We made so many fond memories with our daughter and our five grandchildren!
