We arrived right at check in with n a Sunday. We got right in the home without any issues. The house is immaculate and clean. Beautiful decorations and great layout for the whole family. The location is just a short 3 minute walk to the beach. Great outdoor sitting area for when returning from the beach and just hanging out. Close proximity to everything you need. Fantastic time!
