    "It’s a great place for dogs but make sure they are on a leash. The sidewalks are nice and the roads are nice just to make sure you bring something to pick up your dog Pooh. And when crossing the streets make sure you look for cars with your animals because you have to cross the street a couple times to get to the beach"

    "Relatively quiet except for the middle of summer, this area is a little harder to get to, which keeps the crowds and strip malls away for the most part. The beaches are great, it's very safe, there are all types and varieties of houses for rent, there is planty to do and many great restaurants in the area."

    "We've been taking the family here for 9 years and finally bought our own place here, that's how much we like it. I don't know about the schools since it's a vacation place. The traffic is tough on the weekends but that's about the only negative thing I can think of. "
