2nd time staying here and loved just as much! would have stayed here last year too but it was booked when we had a chance to get to the beach. quiet, private, oceanfront, plenty of room, comfy beds, lots of showers, and plenty of bathrooms. everything you need in the kitchen and love the open layout upstairs. my favorite place is the upper deck sitting in the shade (the middle part is shaded which was great as it was a typical hot august week!) listening to the waves, watching the pelicans and occasional porpoises, the colors of the sunrise and sunset, and the occasional thunderheads in the sky. the pool is always wonderful to have after being sandy and salty at the ocean, and it's a great place to relax before heading up for showers and dinner. having a smart TV with access to netflix/prime/disney and apple TV is a huge must for us to be able to relax and watch our favorite shows or movies after dinner or playing board games. for the 2nd time, we didn't play foosball but kept saying we would- love that that's there too! and while there are a good bit of stairs, we considered it good exercise after getting the must-have AB ice cream (or Emerald Isle Sweet Spot ice cream) most nights. thank you Dan for sharing your home. we love it and will keep coming back! 100% recommend!
