JitterBug - It does seem a bit pricey, but the location seems great. We've never stayed directly on a beach before, so it's really appealing. ANd having the place to ourselves is very appealing too. Since we've never been to the Portland area, I am a little overwhelmed trying to choose a place/area to stay. We want to see it all Does the beach near Coconut Isle Villa really look as beautiful as the pictures? Is there truly a place or two we could walk to along the beach from there for lunch, drinks, dinner in early March? We wouldn't plan to eat all our meals within walking distance of the villa, but maybe every other day while there if possible. Thanks for any input you can give me
