Final family Labor Day beach weekend was spent in a fabulous dwelling. Each adult kid was able to get their own room which was a hit, especially with it all being single level. The hot tub was certainly utilized each evening for a pleasant wind down. I appreciated the communication early on regarding the pet needs. Kitchen well stocked with basics and loved having a washer/dryer right off the kitchen. Thank you very much for a pleasant stay!

Peaceful retreat
So nice to be in a nice quiet neighborhood and have beach access out your back door. Well equipped kitchen and grill for eating in and sitting ocean front to watch the stars. My pups loved the early morning walks and after 5:00 swims in the ocean. We hope to return!
