This home was very spacious and comfortable. Our family had a great time staying here. It wasn’t too far from the beach but we also had the pool to enjoy. The check in process was not difficult at all and we had no issues our entire stay. We highly recommend staying here!

Thanks so much ! Glad you enjoyed the house and pool ! Great guests and welcome or recommended anytime !!
The outside area was very spacious and is were we spent most of our time. The hot tube was a surprise and a hit with the family. The inside was nice, but there was dog hair on the couch and we have allergies. But after we wiped it down we were ok. We had a great time.
