Liked: Cleanliness
Great house for our family. We spent many hours in the private pool and loved the proximity to the beach. The clean grill was a huge plus! There is some traffic noise since the house is on a main road, but nothing to detract from our enjoyment of the property. The property manager was very responsive to a few minor questions/requests, often responding within a few minutes.

Our home away from home

Great location - a quick walk to the ocean, trolley pick up, shopping, and eating places. Thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool, as well as the space the home provided - we had plenty of room to spread out. Amanda was very responsive.

Beautiful Home

This home was beautiful. The location was about 1-2 blocks to the beach. Literally around the corner. The pool was a refreshing alternative when we needed a break from the beach and the heat. Everything we needed was provided. Would definitely come back again.
