Great beachfront home

We had a wonderful stay. The house was the perfect size for our family. It had a well stocked kitchen and the location was excellent. Literally a one minute walk to the beach. Would recommend to anyone looking for a beachfront rental.

Perfect location

Steps from the ocean and close to great places to eat. Internet is sketchy and folks from across the street walk on both sides of the property to get to the beach but the views from the deck of this home made those inconveniences tolerable. Management was great and would definitely book again!
