This place is a great place to stay with family. Our family of 10 had a great time. The only trouble was the wifi wasn't working. We contacted the managing company who had someone come out and take a look. It didn't really fix the problem, but we enjoyed the ocean so didn't feel like contacting them again. I would like it if they put some hot pads in the kitchen, but everything else is great. Short walk to the ocean was awesome. The heated pool was a great bonus

The home is in excellent condition and decorated nicely. The rooms are spacious and the backyard is adorable. Everything worked perfectly. The hosts are so sweet and left us a pumpkin pie that was delicious! The beach is walking distance or there is public parking about a block away. The pool is heated and clean. We had a blast and definitely recommend this place!
