It is a GREAT place to unplug and unwind. There are two restaurants within 2 miles either direction from the house. One is Sassy Bass. The other is Tacky Jacks. At Sassy Bass there is a small market and deli type environment with a hot bar. But basic food staples and a liquor store is there as well.

Checkout instructions are basic. Take out the trash (down to the street) and include what’s in the fridge. Please start the linens and dishwasher before leaving. We take care of the rest. Lock the door on your way out. You may want to stock up on groceries before heading down Fort Morgan Rd (Hwy 181) the last grocery store for 19 miles is there. We have a local market but the selection is limited. Public Beach accesses approx 7-8 lots down either way (about a 5 min walk) and signs are posted. We have provided pet/ child gates and a beach type pet potty area to help give your pets a bit of freedom off leash. Neither are tall or strong. If you have a runner or jumper do not trust these. There are coyotes. They are not kind. My only pet rule is they break you fix. We all love our furry friends. Pets are always required to be on leash on the beach
