Our stay was wonderful, an easy check in, and very responsive property owner and property mgmt company.We loved that we could bring our dog and that the back yard was fenced in. We enjoyed the fire pit one evening and it was nice there were wood logs already there to use! We did not use the hot tub but it looked nice and clean and the walk to the beach was short and super easy. It was a nice quiet location, clean and comfortable beds, well stocked with everything you might need, and we enjoyed the unexpected Jan 1st lantern festival at the beach! Highly recommend and exactly what we were looking for.
