House was very clean, the house had everything we needed. View of the beach was perfect. Brought our pups with us and they loved the large fenced in yard. We definitely will be coming back to this house.

This house is beautiful and very clean. The yard for your pets is huge, giving them plenty of room to run and play. The indoor/covered parking was a real plus. We were about a 2 minute walk from the beach. We will definitely be back.
