Great location
We enjoyed our stay at Adam's property. It was a perfect location. We enjoy walking to the blue stairs, Kid's Corner, beach, and downtown area. This home accommodated our large extended family. Plenty of bedrooms and baths.

Dog Days of August Fun Retreat
Beautiful home. Everything for a nice stay. Comfortable and quiet. Tried to get a late checkout because we have infant twins. Preferred an 11 a m checkout vs. 10.
