This beach house is in a prime location and the beach was perfect. Beach chairs and umbrellas already on the beach were a wonderful surprise! The expansive decks with tables, chairs, and lounges on the beach side and salt pond side were great places to eat meals and gather with family. The separate living spaces upstairs and downstairs worked well for us to include extended family and provide them some privacy while still being with us. The outside stairs being the only connection between the two is the one downside but it didn't bother us. On a clear day you can see Block Island and Montauk. Our weather was perfect for the week even though a thunderstorm blew through one night. The hours-long light show of lightening over the water when the storm was south of Long Island was spectacular! The A/C inside brought welcome relief to the very hot days. Hope we can go back!
