We've rented numerous beach homes over the years, and this house is certainly at the top of our list! The home is spacious, very well maintained and stocked with just about everything you would need to cook for a large group. The separate annex/loft was perfect for my wife and I to sleep and have a relaxing cup of coffee in the morning before stepping into the main house to start the wonderful chaos of our kids and grandkids! We spent many happy hours swimming and playing in the pool...up to 10 adults/kids in the pool and it never felt crowded! The pool gets sun all day, which kept the water temperature perfect.The private access to the beach, as well as the access to the boat dock/fishing pier meant that the ocean and the intracoastal waterway were each just a very short walk away. And I shouldn't forget to mention the beautiful view out over the marshland out to the intracoastal waterway...a perfect way to end the day!Last but not least, the homeowner was simply lovely to work with...professional, and very timely responses to any of our questions both during the rental process as well as when we were at the home.Yes, we WILL be back next year!
