We utilized this home for a leadership retreat for our church. It was very spacious, and had five bedrooms as well as an open area with bunk beds. We did have three individuals with mobility issues, and the only way to get to the upstairs of the house is a spiral Iron staircase. Otherwise, our stay was most enjoyable, and it was plenty of room.  The pictures of the inside of the house are very accurate, the picture of the outside of the house, however, is not.

We had a great stay!! The beach was right around the corner and the neighbors were very friendly.

Beautiful, clean home, close to the beach. Plenty of space. Would recommend Grat price for the location. The host is always avaliable.

we had a wonderful stay. The hosts were very attentive and responded immediately when we contacted them. would def rent again!
