This house was everything we hoped it would be. The views were amazing. We loved watching the pelicans fly by. The beds were very comfortable and the heated floors were very nice on cold mornings.
Great place to stay on the ocean, very clean, fully stocked home quiet but a bit of some road noise from the highway which is next to the house but not so bad because of the new windows and the sound of the ocean
We loved our stay in this immaculate and beautiful home...... the views, the hot tub, the lawn, the comfy couch and well appointed kitchen were all amazing. Highly recommend!
