Summary: We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s trip with our family. The host was fantastic—great communication, and the home was clean and well cared for. We loved the on-site activities like pickleball, cornhole, volleyball, and the fire pit, plus the easy walk to the beach just down the street. The adjoining decks made it perfect for our large group. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property.
