Disliked: Location
The property was OK save for unreliable wifi, which may have been event related. Linda tried hard but when you are in the middle of a Coastal Flooding Disaster and the property is surrounded by water and finally the fresh water is turned off it is hard to say the trip was anything but awful.

Perfect relaxation spot

Short walk to the beach and far enough from commercial area to not be bothered. Check out conners for groceries and uncle eddy for ice cream and putt putt. Public beach access a mile away is perfect for a night time fire.
