A Celebration

We had a wonderful family 3 night get together. The location of the house right on the water was wonderful- it was rainy and cold while we were there in January, but we still got in walks on the beach. The view was amazing. The house was clean and the bedroom layout worked well for us. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

Spent a long weekend here with our adult kids and grandmother. Three generations. The house was perfect so us. Having beautiful weather helped as well. Those who didnt want to go down to the beach had a beautiful view of the ocean from two side of the home. Large windows and expansive views. The house had a grill which we used. We did not use the beach toys/chairs as we had our own. We would definitely rent the home again for the space alone.
