We were able to do other activities during the morning, and could always easily make it to the beach for a few hours in the afternoon. We got to see dolphins in the canal behind the house, which was really fun. We also bought a fishing license, and were able to catch some fish right off the dock at the house. Easy drive to other fun activities in the area. The house was cozy, and had everything we needed. ##### Jessica K.
