The boat was very responsive. Booking was easy. The location is perfect. The pool feels like a private haven and was very quiet during our stay. Everything you need for a day at the beach is provided. The kitchen is nicely outfitted.

Loved the property. Close to the beach, you don't need to cross a street. Clean, bright and fun vibe. The pool was nice and warm. Not crowded. We loved Skinny's just across the street and next-door access to the public beach and cafe. Would recommend!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is absolutely fantastic. We loved it. Only downside is it is next to a very busy public beach. We did reach out with a question about the rental bikes - as we could not find them - and received no response. But other than that, it was a fantastic stay!
