Look at the last photo listed (Photo 39) to really get a sense at how close it is to the beach. There's literally just one more house, and then the beach. As other reviewers have said, the photos don't do it justice, and it really is a beautiful property and location. Our only negative was that the only bathroom is downstairs, whereas two of the three bedrooms are upstairs. So it was hard to fall back to sleep after walking up and down a flight of stairs and through the living room and kitchen to use the bathroom in the night.
