Me and my husband, stayed the week before memorial day. Perfect place, nice little back area to sit and relax with perfect size little pool. the house is so cute, with retro good quality appliances and furniture. Very Very unique property. Would love to stay again. Has everything you need to go to the beach, great wagon and chairs. maybe 2 minute walk to beach access. Would get a golf cart next time to drive around the island instead of the car we rented. ##### cheri w. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ---
