Beautiful property in a spectatular location
A unique property and unique experience. The house is beautifully done and appointed. Extremely well designed to accomodate a large group (there were 12 of us) comfortably. The location is picture perfect and it is centrally located to take advantage of all the activities in the area....or just sit around and enjoy watching the ocean. It exceeded our expectation.
