Family Birthday - Graduation - Reunion Celebration
A marvelous property!
Location -- Space -- Condition -- Furnishings -- Service
All were terrific! Perfect setting for a Memorial Day weekend gathering.
The pool, patio area and porches were all enjoyed.
Rental company provided prompt service.
Only disappointment was the flooded, muddy beach access via 8th St. Presumably this has been remedied.
We used The Tent Guys service for Tent, Chairs, Cooler, Drinks, Corn Hole... a really great way to enjoy the beach without having to schlep things over the dunes.
