This place was the perfect peace and quiet that I had been needing. Everything was as described online and the process was seamless from start to finish. The added optional amenities were the perfect addition to my weekend of retreat. The sound of the waves and the view from the wrap around back porch were amazing. Increased by the deer that visited often. Would absolutely stay here again!!My only suggestion would be to have a slider on the back door so that guests can leave the door open to hear the waves from the kitchen and living room area without letting flies in.Also bedroom slider screen could use an adjustment to fix the gap that I believe let some of those flies in as well.
