Missed the one picture that kinda showed, in hind sight, that “steps to the sand” didn’t mean on the ocean view boardwalk. Though it did have a nice ‘no automobiles’ several hundred yards walk to the beach and the closeness of the other houses actually created a wind break. So we could enjoy the warmth of the Sun on the little patio in our off season beach stay. If you’re not from the city, being in the take off flight path can be disturbing, as it was to my partner.
