Our family enjoyed all aspects of this house, especially the well-appointed kitchen and an open seating floor plan. The mid level deck allowed for comfortable swinging and picnicking with views of BOTH the inter-coastal waterways to the rear of the property and stunning views of the crashing waves in front. Extra high chairs on the top deck increased visibility of the beach activities and created wonderful ambiance for nighttime beverages, a cool breeze, and the moon reflecting off the water. While the property is technically across the street from the beach, we still opted for a beach pass so that we could easily load up the kids and the surf fishing gear in the SUV. The house is only about ten minutes away from notable seafood and Mexican restaurants, a number of which include great Cajun fusion meals. Overall, a must stay!
