Anniversary Getaway
Santa Rosa was everything and the location of this VRBO house was the absolute greatest minutes walk or golf cart drive to everything beach, all the local food spots and souvenir shops.. what I enjoyed the most was the fact the pool was a few feet from the back door and despite how busy the day was with people enjoying the location commuting back and forth the neighborhood was exceptionally quiet at night. And if you enjoy walking biking or running the elevated sidewalks provided excellent exercise early in the morning with a beautiful view

Good location/beach access, but
The beds and pillows were unbearable. No one slept well the entire stay and my youngest woke one morning screaming with a crick in his neck from the flat and uncomfortable pillows. The full size bed is sunken in there middle and there were no comfortable pillows at all. There were no extra blankets for the beds and the ones ok the beds were so thin it was like not even having anything. A few of the towels had dead bugs in them. The paper towels and toilet paper was so thin it was almost like having nothing at all. There was no a sheet set for the pull out sofa bed either. Overall the only thing I liked about the property was that it was walkable to beach.

Vacation with Toddlers
The location of this home was spot on. It was a very easy walk to the beach, food and stores. The home was very well maintained and we had all we needed. The community pool was just steps away as well. For those vacationing with small children, we can't say enough about the location - location - location! We will return.

Experiencia
Cuando llegamos los botes de la basura estaban llenos y no avía donde poner nuestra basura
Los focos de la luz de las terrazas estaban fundidos no avía luz. Y los conectores de corriente. De afuera no servia ninguno
Esos son los inconvenientes que tuvimos buenos. De los demás todo muy bien. 😊
