Perfect Spot for Family

First timers to the area and were very impressed with the location. Literally steps to a very private beach and right in the middle of any attraction or restaurant you may want to go to. Space was clean, quiet and comfortable for a family of five with three kids 7 and under.

Beautiful home on lovely beach

This was a beautiful 3 level home with great views only a very short walk to the beach. The property was very nice and the owners were easy to work with. My granddaughters and I had a lovely "girls'" trip here. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was just perfect for us.
