You just can't beat the location of this property. The sand on the beach is like white powder. It is so fine it squeaks when you walk! The water is clear. Some days had bigger waves, which was good for boogie boarding. Other days had hardly any surf at all. There are some boogie boards and floats under the house for you to use, so no need to bring your own. There are beach chairs available also, but they looked old and rusty. Probably best to bring your own.
This area was not crowded. Looking right and left down the beach, you could tell it was much more crowded in both directions. It is a great beach for the family. I didn't hear a single curse word all week. If you are looking for a party beach, this is not the place for you.
The house is very charming. It is older than some of the others that are in the area, and might have a couple of little quirky things about it. But it has everything you need. And it all works. I will give examples of the quirky things that, in my opinion, did not distract from the charm of this quaint little beach house.
For one, you have to hold down the handle to flush the toilets. No big deal, right? Also, it takes forever to dry your clothes in the clothes dryer. I think the main dryer vent that leads to the outside of the house needs to be cleaned out. But the dryer works, and I am not the one paying the bill for having to run it for an hour and a half so I won't complain about that.
The pantry and laundry room doors didn't like to cooperate. But were functional. The outdoor shower was full of beach chairs and floats so you can't use it. But there is a water hose on the deck to rinse the sand off your feet before going into the house. That's all you need anyway. So again, not a deal breaker.
The air conditioner works well. We were never hot inside the house. The beds and pillows were comfortable, in my opinion.
There is a house that is being built next door. They were putting in the windows the week we were there (July 12- 19). Not a lot of noise, but some. They were hardly ever there working on it.
There is a sweet cat that likes to hang out on the porch. We called it Rascal all week. Our girls enjoyed feeding it and petting it. We have 2 cats at home, so Rascal was a good substitute. He likes salmon, tuna & filet mignon. Ha ha!
I used Shipt.com to order groceries and had them delivered straight to the house. I recommend The Terrace Restaurant, just down the road, for dinner.
