It’s 2 minutes to the beach and super convenient. The beach does not get too crowded and was perfect for the kids. The house has everything you need and was very clean.

I believe the square footage is listed in the posting. We estimated it’s about the size of a 2 car garage. But it was perfect for just my husband and myself. The beach wasn’t crowded, and only 1 block away. We would definitely stay again! ##### Jane F.
