A wonderful family getaway with my parents and aunt. So enjoyed the beach access, walking along the coast every day and picking up treasures. This was a perfect unit for four of us and worked out so well for those of us with mobility issues. Very comfortable, felt right at home. Cooked several meals and was so happy with the well stocked kitchen. A

The place was very nice and clean. Also a great location steps from the beach. The master bed was very comfortable but the twin beds were not. Both adults complained that they were uncomfortable and they slept terribly. The listing also stated there was a fitness center. We erroneously interpreted that to be a gym with equipment to work out on. That is not what it was.

The property is very nice and location perfect. Bring your own games and entertainment for kids, as it wasn’t very set up for families but the location is worth bringing a few extra games. It was clean and super convenient to the beach. Overall will return!
