We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach house! It was perfect for our large family — spacious, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed.The layout was ideal, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out while still having great spaces to gather together for meals, games, and time by the pool. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bedrooms were comfortable and quiet.The location was fantastic — just a short walk to the beach, and close to shops and restaurants.We made some great memories here and would absolutely come back. Highly recommend for families or groups looking for a fun and easy beach vacation!

Serious insect problem. This place needs an exterminator immediately. Bugs (cockroaches) found all throughout the house, especially in the kitchen. Landscaping needs to be taken care of. Bushes are unkept around pool area and constantly dropping flowers in the pool. For the dollars pay for the rental, more attention to detail is needed.
