Aug 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place The house is great. It is very spacious. The only thing it is missing is a kitchen table. Has a bar area to eat at or the picnic table on the porch. The use of the garage was amazing for our dune toys, not having to cover them up at night. The only difficulty was the drive way. Not very wide for those with a trailer. Very steep at the entrance. If having multiple vehicles you may have to dance around to get them out. ##### Nathan R.
