We were on a girlfriend trip. We were looking for a beach house directly on the beach. It was perfect for us. We walked straight out from the house onto the beach, exactly what we wanted. We were pretty stacked in there but it was fine. We had 8 adult women with 2 bathrooms but it worked for us. Hope to go back next year.The house was very clean, no issues at all.
