The house was amazing. Everyone enjoyed the balconies. The beach was incredible. We wanted to find a property that was as close as possible to the water. Even with a bad back and hip access was good. I had several extremely helpful communications with our hosts. We would love to rent this property again in the future.

Great location. Residential area, so no hassle and bustle, which is exactly what we wanted. Amenities like grocery and restaurants were just a few miles away. Close enough, but far enough. House was clean and stocked. Access to the beautiful beach was easy. Foot wash and shower provided were great to rinse off. Couldn't have asked for more.
