We were nicely surprised at the area of the house location. It is a short walk to the beach, and to the pool. My kids loved that it was right on the canal, as they looked for crabs and other wildlife in the water. We had great views of the ocean city lights, and the sunset on the bay. The neighbors were friendly, and gave us tips for accessing the beach. The pizza place is also in walking distance and very good. Other attractions (stores, restaurants, ice cream) are a short drive away. This was a perfect house for my family of 5-kitchen was equipped, beds were comfy, shower was hot! It was homey and we loved the little enclosed patio that allowed us to store our beach belongings. We would book again and bring family to book in another!
