Beautiful in every way!
This property was remarkable! When I read “steps to beach” I wasn’t sure how close it actually was… it is less than a block! We made multiple trips a day and even would run back to the house for sunglasses or an extra towel. The house itself is just beautiful and the kids enjoyed the hot tub every day. The outdoor shower (that has warm water!) was used more than any of the showers in the house. I loved having a little music room and the tv and pool table in a separate area downstairs. Our tv addicted family had to adjust to having just one tv in the house, but it was nice to slow down and just enjoy each other. Oh! And the screen porch! Loved it every morning and any other time I just wanted to peacefully sit. The only (small) concern was the jacuzzi tub upstairs. I knew it would be a gamble to try it out, but it seems the jets need to be cleaned and the plug for the tub needs some sort of handle because it’s nearly impossible to pull it out when it is suctioned in. Everything else was lovely! And there was an amazing hot tub so we really didn’t need the jacuzzi. Looking forward to return!

outdoor furniture needs a cleaning, update. Overall too expensive for a rather basic experience. Location is often not everything
