Location Information
Directions: If GPS routes you to turn left to go behind the dune when you're still south of the house, ignore it. There's a direct beach access turn off just north of the house, called Eagle Lane. That is the easier access to use than to go behind the dunes on the side roads. Once you take that left over the dune, you'll see the house in front of you and slightly to the left.
