It's so close to the water-you can see it from the balcony. The parking was quite easy and we never had to search. It made going back and forth so easy. Walking to Marine Avenue where all the food is was less than 10 minutes and we found ourselves walking every day. The site itself is so spacious and bright. It made our stay so comfortable. There was room to spread out and with adult children, it was so worth it. The kitchen had everything we needed for our four days there and having the bicycles and towels for the beach was such a wonderful added treasure. Our kids loved it so much that they begged us to return again next summer. We left some items accidentally when we checked out and they were so kind enough to mail them to us! ##### Laura Money S.

What a cute beach house in a great location. Our family loved it! I would stay here again and again. ##### Ryan G.
