Fantastic
We absolutely had a wonderful time. The house is updated and perfect for our small family of 3 and our dog. It took us 3 min to walk to the beach and all of our needs were a quick drive away. The house was very clean, pool was cute and we loved having a washer and dryer. We can’t wait to come again!

Beautiful place
This place was really clean and modern. Very comfortable for 2 of us. It was a very short walk to the beach and the pool area was great! We like to make breakfast in the morning and snacks in the afternoon, so I did wish the kitchen was stocked a little better. It had just the very basics. But overall it was perfect! We would stay here again!
