A Total "Distanced" Coastal Experience!

HATE DOES NOT LIVE HERE! EVERYONE IS WECOME!!!!! Distance yourself from the craziness that has become our new normal.\ This is comfortably warm space to unplug, read a good book, watch for whales and dolphins or take long walks on a practically deserted beach. Or just go crazy: fly a kite, kayak, paddle board, volley ball. We are minutes away from superb local attractions, events and a great food scene!
