Sweet Location!

Salt and Shine is much beter than the average host liason with great attention to detail. They were very quick to answer questions and help us with anything that popped up. This house is very conveniently located and comfy. Dog Friendly was huge for our fur babies. 1/2 mile walk and you are on Long Sands Beach. Dogs are welcome on the beach (off leash alowed) until 8 AM.I was there with my 2 guys every morning @ 6 letting them have morning romp!! It is also a very good neighborhood to just walk the dogs when needed. The road is about a 1/2 mile loop with decent sidewalks on the main road for pedestrian / dog use. All of the neighbors we encountered were very pleasant. There is a big screened porch on the back which was great for hanging out when the nights were cool enough (hot week when we were there) Highly recommend the house and Salt & Shine to anyone looking.
