This place was incredible- we did not want to leave! It was perfect for our 5 person family and 2 dogs. The beds were comfy, the place was spotless, and the whole vibe was so warm and inviting. It is also in the perfect location- the shops that are on the same street are fantastic. It is a 5 minute walk to the boardwalk. The instructions provided on how to enter the property, unlock/lock the doors, and guides on all kinds of amenities, parking info, etc was absolutely perfect. Zero problems! I cannot wait to stay there again! Highly recommend!
