Why they chose this property

The whole house, hot tub, firepit & yard are yours to enjoy! There is also a small dog pin if you would like to use it. The closest beach access is right around the corner about a half mile away! The TV in the upstairs bedroom is not a smart tv but you are welcome to bring a streaming device to use. We have Comcast/X-Finity internet! NOTE: The staircase in the A-frame is steep vs. normal stairs. It might not be the easiest for children and the elderly.
