This is the second year we have stayed at this property. I loved it the first time due to the proximity to the beach. Looking out the kitchen window, the bedrooms, dining area, the beach is right there unobstructed view. Yes you have to get up on the boardwalk to get down to the beach, but having the large patio literally facing the beach just adds to the constant pleasure of being in this location. Other homes have adjoining patios or they are very close. This one is very large and at a distance from others. The house is clean, no bugs seen. The kitchen is well stocked with tools for cooking. The property is also secure in that we left our beach supplies outside and have never worried about someone taking them. The second visit as good as the first with some bathroom remodeling which was nice. The property is pricey for me, but due to the location, I felt it was worth it. I could sit on the patio early in the am, have my coffee with my feet up, listen to the waves and watch the sunrise on an empty beach. That was bliss.

This is a great property and my family had a wonderful time. The only thing is that the pictures online are not accurate. There are two room which we supposed to have two double beds which have been updated to have king beds. This became an issue as my 13 and 16 year old did not want to sleep in the same bed but we figured it out. Other than that, you cannot beat the location and proximity to the ocean.
