We enjoyed our stay, the kitchen has just about anything you could need to cook during your stay. Only a 2 minute walk to the community pool, and 10 minute walk to the beach. Only negative comment about this stay, is that the floors were so dirty. It did not seem like the floors had been swept or mopped prior to our check in.

It's so wonderful to be close to everything and to have all of the conveniences of home for cooking during your beach vacation! We love that. We appreciate you telling us about the floors. You're welcome to reach out during your stay when you notice things like that. We'll have someone get right on it. That said, we are so happy you had fun, Branson. We hope you all don't wait too long to return for another fun, beach getaway!
