Sweet & short weekend stay

Our families second visit to the area and we brought friends along with us this time! Perfect location for us- short trip to the amazing zoo, walked on the pier and the kids loved the beach (even though it was kinda cold& windy), and had an amazing lunch at Dunebillies. The back deck was great and we saw deer on the hill behind us every morning and evening.

Plenty of room for the 3 generations to gather for meals yet separate for different activities. Enjoyed the front and back patios. Close walk to the beach. Had a problem with a leak in the basement but it was fixed with a new water heater.
