Great Property!

We loved our stay here! The description for the property was accurate, and it is in a perfect location! It is a short walk to the beach, and it is close to many other enjoyable activites. It is fairly priced, especially considering we stayed here for 9 days. Overall, we would definitely stay at this property again!

The home had plenty of room for our group and location was great! We had a fantastic trip! There are a few things that need to be addressed. The mattress in al the beds were awful and hard!! We took turns sleeping on the sofa which wasmore comfortable.Also, some outside furniture that was showing in pictures is. o longer there and there is NO grill.
