We had a fabulous stay at this house. It's small just like the pictures show. That being said, it's a cute, clean and comfortable house with amazing location a VERY short walk to the beach. Beach bathrooms are located on this block as well. Great little beach house if your main priority is to walk up to the beach and spend most of your day there. It's also a short walk to beach concessions and bars, but far enough away that it's a very quiet block. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kristen g. 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place!
