We had a great stay at this property! The layout was wonderful. 2 large living rooms with dining areas and all the amenities for cooking. The rooms had plenty of space and comfortable beds. The master bedroom was quite spacious. The towels were the nice heavy ones not skimpy. We enjoyed the backyard and made s’mores in the fire pit. We also used the grill to bbq. Great location to the beach! Some of us walked and some drove down. Went fishing, played volleyball and boogie boarded. We did have to call maintenance and they were quick and friendly. We highly recommend this place for a large group. We hope to be back soon!

House was in a quite neighborhood. Yard and grounds were nice. Fire pit was used, but don't count on uaing the outdoor grill/pizza oven. Home is starting to age, but still a nice option. Plenty of gathering spaces downstairs for get togethers.
