We didn't go for the beach, but the causeway is very close for beach access. There is a unit next door but they are separated by a breezeway, so it was very private and quiet.

Wide Ocean Front, Private Gazebo, 6 Bedrooms, New to VRBO

10/10 Excellent
"Our family's week at the beach front house with a gazebo was amazing. Being on the beach allowed us to watch activity at turtle nests and we actually got to see some hatch! The house itself is very clean and well maintained. It was nice to have the extra fridge/freezer on the ground level. We enjoyed it so much that we have already booked it for next year!"
