"Perfect place for a getaway for two! The front patio has a great view of the Ocean and is perfect place a morning cup of coffee. The beach is only a 3-4 minute walk away. The house provided some beach gear, the games and umbrella really made the beach fun. The house was the perfect size for two. Would highly recommend for a weekend or week long get away."
