Nice spacious house in gated community quick walk to the beach. The only disappointment was there were no televisions in two of the guest rooms and you are not allowed to use your on beach umbrellas. You have to use a specific vender adding an additional cost that’s not necessary.

Great house to stay in, amazing location and neighborhood. Quiet and safe, close to all the shops but tucked away. Private pool and the with bikes and chairs in the garage for us to use so we didn’t have to pack ours.

Great house! Wonderful location! Only two items of concern, if the private pool is heated, it was not working. Also, with the A/C set on 70 degrees, the upstairs was nearly too warm to sleep. Other than that, awesome home! We had a wonderful time!

Home needs to update furniture as very worn with heavy staining with some staining looking like vomit. Advertised for 12, but it would be extremely tight as small space for 12. Management company was very helpful and their welcome packages were nice.

Perfect neighborhood, beautiful home

Everything was great, we did take elderly with us so the bottom level bedroom was great, but they would have liked for kitchen and family area on first floor with bedroom. Lots of stairs!!

Great property

This is a great house- it’s very clean and attractive. Quiet neighborhood. Very close to the beach. The only thing I would say is there are a lot of steps so if you have difficulty going up stairs it may not be a great option for you. If you don’t have problems, it works out great to get some exercise! We had a great experience!

Very nice location but not a gourmet kitchen

Location was wonderful with easy access to the beach which is beautiful. If you like to cook, which we do, bring lots of your favorite items because the kitchen is sparse. Bedrooms/baths were nice as well sit down areas in kitchen and living room.
