This was the perfect stay for our family of 7. The kids enjoyed kayaking and fishing. The house was very cozy and spacious. We had everything we needed for cooking as well. Tons of memories made here! The location was perfect. Stores are a short drive and the beach was about 20 minutes. We will stay here again!
