Location is great...far enough away to be quiet but close enough to walk. We walked to the beach every day we were here...our youngest was 5. Beach stuff is provided...wagon, umbrella and 3 chairs.

5 Stars Perfect for our family of 4 (but could have accommodated more)
They layout is perfect. From the enormous kitchen island we were able to prep our football snacks and watch the large game time TV in the living room. The pool and hot tub were used daily. All cooking utensils were available as well as multiple things for food left overs. Great location with very limited traffic on the end of the street. Perfect location for people with children. We brought our own Kayaks and could launch (with high tide) from the dock area. We had a person with us that struggles with full mobility but had no problems moving through the house and using the shower. Highly recommend.
Fully stocked kitchen perfect for DIY meals (except for spices, oils, foil, etc which we had to buy). House is spacious and comfortable. Pool is amazing, heated and peaceful. The beach is about a 10-12 min walk. Beach was top notch, plenty of room to spread out and the water was the most beautiful clear blue. We bought 2 beach chairs and an umbrella which we left for the next guests in addition to some pool floats. Although we did have some service requests, lightbulbs, pool service, TV in guest bedroom didn’t work, the management company was accessible and attentive. Overall, it was a wonderful trip and a wonderful house on a wonderful beach. I highly suggest this property and we would definitely consider returning!
