Everything you would need and then some!
Very clean and ready for our arrival. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Pictures do make the size look bigger. But 1/2 our party was unable to make it so it was perfect for the three of us. Would not recommend for small children but an adult group of 6 would be comfortable.

Beautiful family friendly oasis
This was a beautiful place to stay with the house and bunk house giving my family plenty of room to have space yet promote family time. The beach was in perfect walking distance for my little ones and the usual stress of a busy neighborhood or beach was not a problem at all. There are plenty of delicious restaurants around and the town itself is so quaint you can’t help but enjoy being there. My family is already looking forward to booking our next vacation, very pleased with everything.
