Great location and wonderful house. Well stocked and clean. Beds are comfortable and furniture is modern. Lots of hooks in bedrooms and halls for towels and suits. Just a five minute walk to get bagels and ice cream. The views from the third floor deck are stunning. The beach walkway has a hose at the beginning and end making it so easy to wash off the sand. Jim was very communicative and checked in with me throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation!
