This property is very clean and with the fob to access the private beach access it makes beach access easy. There were very few cars in the private lot when we parked. The only hiccup we had was that there was a percolator there and we did not see a grinder. It had listed there was a drip coffee maker. The location is great. You can walk to several good restaurants and there is a gas station right around the corner. We would stay here again.

The host was very responsive and the house was in a very convenient location. The private parking for beach access was the highlight of the stay. The floors were well swept but needed to be mopped. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
