Very short walk to the beach acess so perfec f location for pets and kids. Home was clean and property maintained. The back deck could use some different seating but otherwise we were very pleased.

Family vacation
Home was clean and well stocked. Stormdoor would not close properly and needs to be replaced. Patio table on the back deck needs outdoor chairs and not indoor folding chairs. Outside landscaping needs attention.
