This house is very close to the beach; once you exit the neighborhood you walk across the highway and onto the beach. We drove the golf cart that you can rent with the house, but some of us walked each day, too. The house has everything and is very nice, but also comfortable for a family. It had everything we needed for cooking and eating in. The neighborhood is small and nice. We will definitely return! If you want comfortable, open design, family-friendly, close to the beach, neighborhood pool, and not crowded, this is a great place to stay.
