    We were on a girlfriend trip. We were looking for a beach house directly on the beach. It was perfect for us. We walked straight out from the house onto the beach, exactly what we wanted. We were pretty stacked in there but it was fine. We had 8 adult women with 2 bathrooms but it worked for us. Hope to go back next year.The house was very clean, no issues at all.

    We love staying at this property. Directly on the beach with a deck to enjoy the view. Love the location and that its in a less congested and quiet area. Perfect to get away and relax.
