Beautiful location

This house has the best porch over looking the beach, which is also gated and perfect for little kids and puppies. If is too hot, there is a great view of the beach from the back windows as well. My family and I had a great time at this beach house and would definitely stay again.

Great location right on the beach

Everything was perfect, just like the pictures. Both units below us were rented as well but we never heard them. A/C was nice and cold after coming in from the beach each day. The Vilano coffee shop was the perfect start to our mornings. We will definitely be back!
