The beach house is located on the North-East side of the island which can be breezy, but the water is calm. The house is next to the highway but the traffic noise is minimum because of the thick windows and heavy drapes and there are window units in the bedrooms. The living-dinning area is large with comfortable furniture. The kitchen has every appliance you can use and its stocked with lots of dishes and glasses (so paper goods not required). Kristen even has a gift basket for the renters. It's the best beach house we locals have stayed in and highly recommend it
