5/5 Excellent
Beautiful views
"There are beautiful ocean views from every bedroom in the house. Great secluded beach front location. Our 4 year old loved racing our dog/running laps around the house on the wrap around porch; his best time was 17 seconds. We loved all of the board games as well. Quick and easy walk to the private beach!"
