Really loves the vibe and location of property. Its about a 7 minute walk to the beach. There is a sidewalk that will lead u to the beach. There is a supermarket about 6 minute drive away. We attended mass at the local Catholic church, that was about 4 minute drive away. Neighbor hood was really quiet at night. The house was cleaned and well stocked with everything to cook with. There are bowles, forks, knives, pans, and a dishwasher just to name a few. Outside had chairs, tables, outdoor grill, plenty of shade and plenty of seclusion. The main attraction we rented this property was the pool. It goes to 4 ft deep. Big enough for 8 people to stretch out. I loved it. Wife loved it. Kids really loved it. Already making plans to come back. Thanks to life in paradise for making check in and check out so easy.
