The house has an incredible view of the marsh and feels very private while being nestled into a beautiful neighborhood. Access to the beach is an easy walk. The pool is a beautiful respite. The layout of the house worked so well for our family. The kitchen is so well appointed and having all the cooking extras was greatly appreciated. Also having enough consumable items like toilet paper and paper towel and such was a nice change. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation. We will be back! ##### Marie F.
