Honestly, the in-ground pool is a tremendous asset to the house! The beach is awesome, but sometimes it's nice to just float in the pool in our private backyard after you've been at the beach all day, or if you just feel like skipping the beach altogether. We have central air, a 40 inch flat screen tv in the living room, plus 2 smaller tv's in bedrooms 1 and 2. We have a washer/dryer, and don't forget the awesome outdoor shower! It really has all of the amenities you would ever want or need in a beach house. It is a quiet family neighborhood; however, if you need a little excitement, the Boardwalk is about 1 mile away. It really has everything here!!!
