We really enjoyed our stay at the house and would absolutely come back. It had everything you could need, and we especially appreciated the beach towels and chairs — they made our outings easy and relaxing. The home was very clean, fresh, and well maintained, and the beds were comfortably firm.The location was convenient, and even though it’s near the airport, the noise really wasn’t a big bother. It was a little too cold during our visit to fully enjoy the pool, but we still loved spending time outside — the outdoor space was great for relaxing.Communication with the host was excellent. I had a small request for extra trash cans in the bathrooms and bedrooms, and they responded immediately — And even had them shipped via Amazon the next day. Overall, a wonderful stay with thoughtful hosts and a well-equipped home.
