summer vacation with family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice house ,great location to beach, access to neighborhood pool & workout room. Owner needs to update furniture as it was a little worn, white cushion on patio was very dirty, furniture was dated. Property management was excellent & responded quickly to questions or anything we needed. I would probably rent again although it would not be my first choice in the neighborhood.
