It was a great small getaway place to stay

It was a great small getaway place to stay, very very small beach area to sit, it says it has coffee pods, there was none, it says they have beach chairs, I guess next time we won’t assume because they were act beach chairs. Assuming again I would of thought they would of left more then 1 towel each for each person but they didn’t

Private Getaway

Stayed in the offseason and was great for our family of 6 and 2 dogs. Was easy for us to walk to the ocean & plenty of space for the kids to play in sand, collect shells & splash around. Short drive to the lighthouse & surf point where kids were also able to play in the sand & water. House had plenty of space and a nice enclosed porch with lights to listen to the waves at night. Would recommend & would return! Thanks for a great weekend!!
