This property was as advertised and our family enjoyed it! We love having walking distance to the beach side as well as the bay side. My wife would enjoy paddle boarding on the bay side and the kids would enjoy the ocean waves on the other. You could see the sunrises and sunsets from the back porch without obstruction. The house was beautiful and well kept.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would likely stay here again. Here are some additional points that can help some of you who are thinking of staying here:
1. The kitchen was well stocked with plentiful plates, knives, cutting boards, storage containers, etc. We cooked most of our dinners at home, so this was welcomed.
2. This house has some items that were not originally listed (we didn't use them, as we packed them too). There was a collapsible beach wagon, boogie board, and small beach chairs. They were stored in different closets.
3. There is an outdoor spray on both the front deck (faucet) and the back deck (shower). The hose and pex lines on the back have holes and should be replaced.
4. We prefer the west-end beach (0.7 miles away) compared to the central public beach. There are many more shells on the west-end and is a little more isolated.
5. There will be standing water on the roads as you go to the west end. We were glad that we took a tall passenger van with us due to the water. Lower cars may have an issue after a rain. We brought our bikes thinking we would bike more, but the standing water didn't make this feasible.
6. Bring bug spray! In the evening the bugs in the back will come out. It is also a necessity if you visit the Bird Sanctuary.
