Video of beach and vacation house - and the wonderful sound of waves in the morning. At one point the image zooms to the rental house. The following video is from the afternoon, when the sun is out. A breeze is blowing and occasionally obscures the sound of the waves. |

When I walked into this rental home, I immediately found myself grinning with happiness. When you open the front door, you look across the house through the windows to the deck, with a glorious view of ocean and beach. The setting seems more like a beautiful painting than actual scenery.
