This was such a great house for a family vacation! It was every bit as beautiful as shown in the listing. There was plenty of room to spread out and the house was very well equipped with just about anything we needed. The layout of the bedrooms is ideal for a group and everything was clean and comfortable. It’s also very close to shops, restaurants and beach access while still being in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this listing and would stay here again in future trips.
Excellent location for our needs! The communication was outstanding. The next door neighbor was having the roof replaced so there was a lot of pounding all day, but we did not say anything because it is not something that much could be done about. Loved the house and the hot tube was enjoyed several time. We all agreed we would love to stay there again!
We really enjoyed the spacious rooms and were pleased there were 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Very clean. Communication with management was very informative and they got back to you promptly if you had questions about anything. Beautiful home. Really enjoyed the pool.
