You can see the ocean from three different rooms. The unit is very spacious and easily accommodated our large group. The property management group was very responsive and answered all my questions quickly and courteously.

It was ok - For the price I was expecting a nicer place. For the price you'd think it would include parking , but no - we had to pay an additional 55 to park a vehicle. Received an email the day before informing us the faucet in master bedroom was broke and they were letting us check in 4 hours early?? Really - we didn't get into town until late that evening!!! Only bed that was comfortable was in master bedroom. Floors were dirty, kitchen cabinets were dirty on the outside.Water pressure was horrible. Took you 2 if not 3 times longer to shower it was so bad.Access to the beach was great and 2 beach chairs w/umbrella came with the unit was a plus!!!
