Wonderful Experience!!
My family and I had the privilege to stay in this property and it was amazing. The kitchen was so well stocked. The beach chairs and toys were an awesome added find. The space for the kids to plan and spread out. Everything about the house and property was wonderful and we hope to visit again!

Wonderful beach house!!
We loved our stay at Making Memories! The house was perfect for our large family of 17. We especially appreciated the extra refrigeration and ice machine. The pool was large and the beach just a private walkway away!!! We will go again!!
