Loved, Loved, Loved! Beautiful Property (just like the pictures)! Very clean and well stocked. Tons of fresh clean towels, washclothes and linen. Kitchen cabinets and drawers equipped with every device and utensil you could ever need. One point to make however, if your party consists of 7 or more, you'll definitely need to bring your own larger pots and pans or you'll be repeatedly cooking for hours on end. The 2nd floor takes a while to cool at night so be aware, but when it eventually does all is well! Perfect beachfront location! Easy access to the beach! Plenty of space and chairs for lounging on the lower level and upper balconies.The Will definitely book again!

Great location, beautiful home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a week stay mid July and everything was great. Plenty of linens/towels, great cleaning starter kit and well appointed kitchen (minimal spices though). The house was decorated nicely and felt higher end. The location was perfect with an unobstructed view and 2 large 1st and 2nd floor balconies. Although it is right on the beach access road, it was not crowded and there was minimal traffic. It was so convenient to be able to walk to and from the beach with an outdoor shower. The only negative we could find was the king beds were not very comfortable. The kids bunks had better quality mattresses. Also, it would be more convenient if there was a keypad entrance instead of a physical key you have to pick up and turn back in, but that’s just being nit-picky. Overall, beautiful property, well appointed and clean house...would definitely recommend and stay again!
