You can walk out the door barefoot and head straight onto the beach! Huge expanse of shallow water and and small waves on windy days were perfect for my kids. The house is simple, but suited our needs perfectly. My only small gripe is despite bringing our towels, sheets, and blankets - we were also missing things like dish towels, a bathmat, and a hand towel for the bathroom. A quick trip to Dollar General fixed that problem. Knowing that for next time, we would certainly come back!
