The interior and exterior spaces are all fresh and nicely furnished. The kitchen was fully stocked with the basics plus a crockpot, air fryer, blender, and a kitchen aid mixer! The big island was great for meal prep and meals. We enjoyed every square inch of space and would absolutely return. The wagon, beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys were all put to good use. The walk to the beach is easy, about 7 minutes for our crew. The hose in the driveway and outdoor shower were both useful for cleaning off salt and sand before going back upstairs. We give this place 5 stars!!! ##### Amy H.

All the amenities were present that we needed. I made dinner every night as it was just my husband and I. They had everything I needed. Also a crockpot and air fryer. Right down the road from the big store. We were able to drive the golf cart on the beach to the next neighborhood and avoid getting out on the main highway to go to the grocery store! The house is very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again. ##### Nancy W.
