Summary: Loved this place! Clean, comfortable, and charming. It was perfect for a quiet family beach trip, and what really sets this place apart is the attention to detail put into the place -- all those little things that allow you to just relax and pretend you live by the beach (there is a *knife shapener*! do you know how many dull or even nonexistent knives I have struggled with in a vacation rental??). I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee by the koi, trying out the local restaurants and cafes, and of course Walnut Beach and Silver Sands. We would absolutely come back!!My only caveat would be that if you have any children who are not steady walkers on stairs, like many houses in this area the stairs can be tricky with one banister. Fine for any kiddos who are sure on the stairs but might require extra attention for a younger child learning to walk.
