Very Good Week at the Beach
We had a wonderful time at Becca’s Beach Retreat! The house is essentially right on the beach and the beach is really nice - quiet, nice sand, lots of seashell hunting opportunities, and some good surf watching! It was too cold and windy during our visit to really test out the waters, but I’m sure during the summer there’s some good boogie boarding to be done! We brought our kite, which was perfect for flying.
I read the description, but the house definitely is larger than you think and many bedrooms. There were some kitchen towel and a wash cloth, but make sure to bring/rent bath towels, hand towels, beach towels, paper towel, toilet paper, dish soap, dishwasher tabs, hand soap, trash bags. I think each bedroom had its own bathroom except for the double bunk room, but there was a half bath between the 3rd-4th floor. The kitchen has 2 of just about anything for baking cakes, cupcakes, cooking some large meals - electric skillets, crock pot, blenders, a professional grade kitchenaid mixer, and 2 dishwashers to help clean up all that cooking. The only spices were some salt and pepper, and the fridge was cleaned out so plan to bring/buy your spices and condiments. The speaker system is no joke - nice work there! Sometimes we couldn’t figure out how to get the sound to work correctly but when we did, it’s amazing. The beds did all have a comforter on top (we brought ours mistakenly), some closets/drawers had spare blankets too, and there were pillows, so just bring your own sheets and pillow cases. There were night lights throughout the house to use. The elevator did work and was very helpful unloading our very packed car.
The grill is gas and worked great. One of the biggest reasons we booked this house was for the pool, but unfortunately we weren’t able to actually use it since it was too cold. It was full of sand, as they mentioned with the constant wind that can happen, but I’m sure they would clean it if intended to be used. We came the first weekend it was supposed to be “open” so we’re not sure if that played a factor or because it was so cold. The hot tub was definitely nice!!
The house did have a few beach toys in what my son called the “outdoor sandbox” next to the outdoor shower (which was nice to rinse off on before heading indoors). But the best part was dolphin watching! And we got to watch sunrise & sunsets. Definitely a great week, thank you!
