Equipped with all the necessary items in the kitchen and comfortable beds. Short walk or a quick drive to the beach. Only thing we didnt like a water had a rusty smell to it in all the sinks and showers. We brought our own water for drinking and cooking so it was ok. Overall would recommend to stay for a quick family getaway. ##### Anelya A.

I want it to be available next year. But hands down this is the BEST beach house I have had the pleasure of staying in/visiting. It was so nice to stay somewhere that didn't feel like a frat house. So many details that made staying here convenient. Having baggies available for leftovers. Filtered water, a water cooler, and ice maker. A neat bean bag game in the living room. An added feature was the ground level laundry and space to store our doors, back windows and freedom top. While we didn't spend much time in the house, it was so nice to come home to a cool house and not have to fight with window units. This truly is a hidden gem, that clearly won't stay that way long. Didn't take any pics, but photos on VRBO clearly represent the home as we found it. ##### April G.
