Perfect property for families. Beautiful beach front view. Close to everything you might need. We would love to come back to this little castle. Recommend adding a garbage disposal to the kitchen sink.

Property was homey and the location was absolutely perfect. The only issue we had was finding a cockroche outside on the patio.

Great property!

We had a blast at this house right on the beach. The only complaint was the internet was out while we were there. They didn’t get it fixed because of the holidays. Otherwise just a great stay!
