Great view of beach, elevator was a god send, kitchen had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving meal, plenty of seating for a large family. My only complaint would be the house needs a good deep cleaning.

Our kitchen floor was filthy. Our refrigerator was never fixed properly. It froze every item on two different days. We probably lost 50 worth of food But, despite these problems, we had a wonderful stay. The location and views were beyond 5 stars.

Our group (ages 6-79) enjoyed everything about our stay - location, pool, elevator, fully stocked kitchen although a couple more dish cloths and towels would have helped. The big hit was the golf cart! Would love to visit again soon!
