A month in paradise!
This was a great property and location to escape from Midwest winter for a month. There is so much to do. Lots of off-the-beaten track adventures and ever-changing landscapes. The hosts have thought of every detail--outlet strips and sound machines in the bedrooms, lots of cookware, dishes, and glassware in the kitchen, a beautiful garden and patio area, and beach towels, chairs, noodles, etc to enjoy your beach time.
