Great Beach getaway!

This was a very clean property with excellent beach access and views. We had plenty of space for our friends and family to gather, eat, and relax at the beach. Would highly recommend.

Three large bedrooms right on the beach

Nice, and large house (with three large bedrooms facing the ocean)... and it is well located... and it is right on the ocean; but it is a little dated and needs minor touchups (hurricane shutters not secured in their track). Upper level sun deck with a lower deck that is shaded.
