Fun 4th
Very nice and clean place. Plenty of room to stretch out. Short walk to the beach access or the sound. Enjoyed the sunsets on the upper balcony. Even during the 4th our beach access was not crowded at all. We will definitely be looking forward to our next stay!

Beautiful home, close to the beach!
We rented the whole house for a girls’ weekend for five friends. The house was comfortable, lovely, and well appointed. It’s a five minute walk from the beach and only a ten minute walk from an area with a few restaurants and shops. We would highly recommend a stay here!
