Summary: This beach house was nothing short of breath taking for our family. My great grandfather built this home some years ago and knowing that it's still there as well as taken care of so amazingly makes our family thankful! My mother spent her entire childhood growing up there. So seeing the happiness and joy in her eyes to now watch her grandchildren enjoy the beach and home as she once did, made it more of a memorable trip! Everything was so nice and organized. The instructions on your arrival all the way to the day of departure were very detailed and explained perfectly. The communication with the property owner's were over the top and super friendly! Booking a longer stay for next year!!! Thank you for letting our family feel at home!
