Week of relaxation
This property was absolutely perfect! The host was more than helpful. The small touches everywhere made our stay comfortable. Loved the private pool with the tranquil backyard setting. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and save on eating out. Will definitely book with this host again.

Everything Needed for an Awesome Vacation
The property was exactly as advertised and the priority managers have thought of everything needed for a vacation. The property was very clean and well maintained. It was also nice to see a kitchen appointed with decent utensils and equipment and not cheap flimsy stuff. I highly recommend the $50 for the beach cabana package! We will return!
