The property and the location were great, but the management company you have to go through once you book the house is a bit much. I had to sign roughly 6 documents, send a copy of my drivers license to them and download an app to check in. If I didn’t sign the forms quick enough for them, they were calling and emailing me. Besides that, the house was great. Beautiful location.

Rooms were immaculate, house as described very roomy and comfortable. Needed a salt shaker (with salt) and sharper knives and potatoe peeler - OTHER THAN THAT- loved it !!! Talk about walk out back door and beach literally in the backyard the kids were occupied the entire time at the beach the view from deck are postcard perfect and the breeze was great. Loved it and hosts using the app was new needed a little help but got all info quickly. Loved the windows and the washer dryer and fully loaded kitchen. Amazing vacation trip spot! 9.5 outta 10. Bring your own mosquito spray !!!! Those things were huge and not playing the time we came. That’s it but perfect other than that !
