Very nice updated property. The ac works like a dream. Quiet area walkable to beach as well as a few restaurants and grocery store. Pool is amazing and the fenced in back yard was very nice.
The house was perfect for our family! Super quick, easy walk to the beach. The pool was large and stayed very warm, even with a couple days of cooler weather. The beds were super comfortable, and the bunk room was so fun for the kids. 10/10!!!

House was clean and in a great location. The pool was excellent. There’s no Tupperware so may want to bring some. Loved the quick walk to the beach.
