Property was immaculate. All the bedrooms were lovely. Pottery barn decor, the light fixtures- stunning. Lots of pool/beach towels. The golf cart was fun and a nice perk! Cute beach chairs, 2 umbrellas and a wagon to bring it all down to the beach which was just two blocks away. We had an issue with the outdoor TV and the staff came to fix it within an hour. Excellent communication. There is also an alarm system to all the doors leading out to the pool which is a nice security measure incase you are bringing young kids! 10/10.
