It is the best location, right across the street from the beach access so it took us 2 minutes to get onto the beach. That made it so easy for us with young children and we spent so much more time being on the beach because it was so easy to run back for anything or just to have a little break. The house was very clean and perfect size for our family. We had 2 adults and 3 children all under 12\. The kids loved the fun decorations in the house too. The listing showed a fun bunkbed that wasn't there when we arrived, so they were a little disappointed for a few minutes, but there were still plenty space and beds for everyone. You should definitely book your stay at this house! ##### Kinsey S.

I really liked all the unique stuff inside the house, but the house is very congested... could’ve even plug my hairdryer and curling iron up the same time as it would blow The breakers and lights went out and I felt the house had not been cleaned very well... I had to clean the hair from the tub drain from the guest before us... ##### Alisa I. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2020 ---
