From the minute we walked through the door, I couldn't stop saying how perfect this house was. It was clean, wonderfully decorated and the renovation is top notch! Lizzie Lu's puts so much thought into every detail. There was nothing that we needed or that wasn't there. When they said the bed was comfortable...they weren't kidding! The outside shower and pool area was great, the garage and having the beach wagon filled with all the chairs, umbrellas and beach toys was priceless! The proximity to the beach was perfect also. All of the linens were clean and smelled like home. No need to pack beach towels! They have 5 large towels rolled and ready to used in a basket beside the door :) ##### Angie T. ---
