We loved our stay at Gentle Winds beach house. The house had everything we needed and was so close to the beach. The view from the top balcony was perfect for morning coffees. Beds are so comfortable and the rooms were perfect for our group.

The house was great. It had everything we needed. Primary bedroom was comfortable. Loved being so close to the beach. I will probably rent this house again on another trip.
