It was so wonderful to watch the sunrise in the morning from the dock. Seeing all the different fish around the dock and having the pelicans greet us each morning. The house was warm and inviting. It was a great home base and had all the essentials you need. The beach was a short 4-5 minute walk away. The house came with beach chairs, umbrella and beach cart so it made the short walk even easier. The beach itself is beautiful with crystal clear water. We enjoyed the many restaurants nearby. It was a wonderful vacation and will miss it very much.
