Oceanfront - Hot Tub - Newly Remodeled Cottage

Oceanfront - Hot Tub - Newly Remodeled Cottage

10/10 Excellent
"This was a “Nana and Papa” vacation with our 2 grandsons (aged 9 and 12). The view is amazing. The property’s landscaping was immaculately manicured and beautiful. The home was well equipped with clear instructions for operating specific equipment and plenty of room for us all to relax and stretch out. The walk to the beach was a little challenging for the elders but the kids managed just fine. The one thing I should have researched a bit more was that the beach the home overlooks is not appropriate for swimming due to the topography of the area. But we only had to drive 4 miles south to find a sandy beach with a much easier entry and safer for our kids to run in and out of the surf. The hot tub was perfect for warming up and watching the magical sunsets after a day of hiking, fishing and building beach “forts” with drift wood! We all had a great time."
