House rules:
Guests must be 25 years or older to book. No smoking or pets allowed.
We ask that people rinse off when coming back from the beach. We love the sand just like everyone, but unfortunately, sand and drain pipes don't always get along. No parties or large gatherings.

Street parking is not allowed. You can park on the grassy area in front of the house if needed. You can fit approximately 5-6 cars in the driveway and grassy area.

We strongly suggest purchasing trip insurance. Life happens and it's good to have a backup plan. Please review our cancelation policy before booking.
