Great spot, great beach.

We had a beautiful stay, getting together with friends and family to remember my brother on his anniversary. Beautiful house, beautiful beach. Right next door to the sands motel if you require further accommodation. We found the early check in fee a little steep, and cameras onsite but other than that pure perfection
