The place was great, had all the kitchen items needed and more. Living room very cozy. Main shower is huge; can easily shower with a couple small children if needed. Seating area outside was nice, great anytime but perfect for those coffee mornings and evening wind downs. Beach access was 4 minute easy walk. Get on Empie from the rental road and walk straight to the beach access point. ##### Erin R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ---
