This house is directly on the beach with private stairs right to the sand, and within just a few feet there are tide pools with starfish and hermit crabs. The views are amazing (especially at sunset!) and the wraparound porch is perfect for dining outside or just relaxing. Our family of 8 had plenty of space to play, relax, dine, and sleep. The only minor issue was thin walls and very creaky floors - when the first person got up, eventually everyone got up. But overall this is a great house and a private location!
