Easy, comfy, clean - Close Beach access!

My small family +2 dogs had a wonderful visit at this comfy little place. This is a great place to tuck away in rather than a hotel if you want to be close to the beach but privacy of your own space. So much to do within walking distance! Even though it is in the midst of the hubub of town, the owners have created a calming place by having sound machines in the bedrooms that dull out most noise, and the TVs can plave music. This was ideal for leaving a calm place for our dogs during daytime hours so they could chill inside while we were out on the beach. Overall wonderful place to stay, great communication with rental owners!
