It was the perfect house for my family! Kitchen was very well stocked! Easy check in amd check out! My grandchildren loved the pool! Home is in a very central location and easy access to beach!
When we read 1350 ft to the beach it was a little deceiving on our part. It was not at all like walking 1 block to the beach. You have to think about just how far 1350 ft is. A little over a quarter mile, while lugging all of your beach gear. And we didn't do that. Other than that, We had a great time, and we are considering renting the same property again in the future.
