This home has so much to offer it's hard to know where to start. It's easily accessible, on a quiet neighborhood street, and still close to restaurants, bars, grocery stores...everything you could need. Our family of 8, including 4 generations ages 4-72 spent a week here and everyone had a fantastic time. By day two the kids wanted to know if we could come back next year. There was plenty of room for everyone to spend time together in the living and dining areas and still split up and get quiet time if they wanted. You can't see the beach itself from the deck, but you do have a wonderful view of the ocean and sometimes during low tides, the surf. We were able to watch the dolphins every morning. It's a very short walk to beach access and it was never really crowded, even though it was the 4th of July week. One day while in the ocean we saw what we believe was either two manatees or really large turtles surface just feet from where we were standing in the water! No kidding!

The home had everything we could have asked for and many things we hadn't expected. We had plenty of sheets, blankets, comforters, and beach, bath, hand, & kitchen towels. We found the kitchen to be extremely well equipped with every type of pot, pan, utensil, dish, glass and small appliance you could possibly want or need (and multiples of many things). There were also some common spices and other dry condiment-type items in the pantry and a supply of random consumable items - trash bags, bath tissue, paper towels, dish and dishwasher soap, even some shampoos & conditioners in the bathrooms. Not sure if these items are stocked by the owner or if some of it was left behind by previous guests, but we contributed our leftover supplies as well.

It was really nice for everyone to be able wash the sand and toys off in the outdoor shower and then enter through the laundry room right next to it and leave the towels & put away the toys . The laundry room doubles as a storage area for a huge trunk with beach towels and a very large bin containing tons of beach and sand toys. Based on the sheer volume of stuff, we figure some of it was also likely donated by previous guests and we also contributed some of ours when we left.

Many thanks to the owner, Randy, for sharing this wonderful home with us and for being communicative, informative and a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to rent in this area. We will be back.
