Andrea's place is exactly as described, and the pictures of the beach was taken from the porch. It really is that close! Other reviewers have mentioned the distance to the town-about 1.5 miles. It is an easy bike ride, but not so easy in the heat and humidity. So the location is either a plus or minus depending on how often you want to go to town. It's possible to rent a golf cart, but it adds expense at about $250 per week. Otherwise I agree with all the other reviews
