Excellent!
This was our second stay in less than 12 months at a Coastal Retreats property, and we will stay with them again! The Team is friendly and willing to help with any questions. The White Sands property is super nice and a very short walk to the beach. Perfect beach vacation spot!
This house won't disappoint! It's located steps from the beach. Big kitchen and every bedroom has its own bathroom. It has King bedrooms on multiple levels with living spaces on each. And to top it off, It has a pool, golf cart and 2 roof top terraces!
House was large so enough space for 10 of us. It was so close to the beach another great point. The pool was small so that was a little disappointing compared to the photos. The only negative was there was only one large washing machine that worked which was fine for our size group. We did not call the host (Alex) about it due to we were able to work with the larger machine on first floor. Golf cart nice bonus! Staff friendly at the gate! We would stay again!
