The large kitchen island features a bi-level granite counter top and seating for four, stainless steel dishwasher, double basin stainless steel sink with a restaurant-style sprayer faucet.

We returned because we enjoyed this so much the first time. Charming house with "beachy" vibe. Owner is exceptionally helpful and easy to work with.

If you like cooking on vacation, this place will be great for you. We housed six adults and a sub-six-year-old. Lots of beach gear: towels, chairs, a cart, etc. The kitchen comes fully stocked, including cutting boards and usable knives, which are a rarity.
