Very convenient location with an very accommodating layout. Nicely set up with a couple of extras from beach towels and chairs to even a wagon. Only concern we had was the tight parking for a house of 14, but was able to make it work.
Property was as listed very convenient location family had a great time .
Property is short distance to beach takes about a minute to walk too the pool lots of resturants close buy and property has a free shuttle bus to the beach great location. Had 1 issue with gate going into the property which was taken care of immediately when we contacted the host

Thank you for being an amazing guest, and we hope to host you again!
Overall our stay was nice and comfortable
But for the fee that is being charged for cleaning after, it definitely should’ve been way cleaner when we first arrived. My wife had to wipe down several things in the kitchen that were filthy.(stove,microwave,table,couches were full of sand we washed the covers.)

Response from VrboOwner on 25 July 2022
We’re very sorry to hear the house was not found as clean as expected. We hold ourselves to a very high standard - as evidenced by our other 5 star reviews. Had this been communicated we would have immediately had our housekeeper address this. Unfortunately - you failed to mention anything at the time, and you failed to respond my message to you mid-stay where I checked in. We will be addressing this feedback immediately with our housekeeper - and we look forward to continuing to provide wonderful experiences for our guests.
Overall stay was amazing ! The place is beautiful There was one small issue and the owner had it addressed within a blink of an eye..that’s not all she even had donuts sent to us while packing up to leave
Anna was incredible. She went above and beyond in every possible way.
My wife and kids had an incredible time.. we enjoyed this wonderful home and would definitely stay again!
