    This is a lovely home. The configuration worked great for our family. So close to the beach and Crows Nest, one of our favorites. Everything you need for a comfortable stay.

    We loved our time here! This is a beautiful place, as described, just steps from the sound. I loved that I could sleep with my window open and hear the waves all night long. Thanks to the owners for letting us use this beautiful place.
