The property was as expected and accommodated our part of 6 well. We had to bring linens towels and paper products which I guess I common these days but a bit inconvenient. Understandably the properties are elevated but keep in mind the stairs can be challenging especially when arriving and preparing to leave. 20 trips up and down the stairs can wear on you. A dumb waiter or lift would make the experience much better. The property is just across the street from beach access and has a community pool. We would stay here again.
