Excellent location

The location of this cabin, for the price, is excellent! We really enjoyed our stay - very short walk to the beach, great views, comfortable beds. The cabin had everything we needed. I would suggest bringing your own beach chairs. The ones provided were a little old. Overall, highly recommend.

Perfect Beach Weekend

Our family came out for a beach weekend. We had such a great time. The beach is steps away, the house was spotless, and cozy. It had everything we needed to cook and grill. Located in a great spot for groceries or golf cart rentals. Definitely saved as a favorite property, we would love to come again!
