Sweet beach house

We absolutely loved this little beach house! It’s perfectly clean and stocked with everything you need. I loved all of the Rae Dunn mugs and kitchenware. The beach is right across the street and we loved the screened in porch for chilling after a long day. My 4 year old loved playing in the shade under the house, too! We will be back.
