This was a beautiful property. We hosted my family and had 14 guest stay comfortably. There was easy access to the beach and the spacious deck allowed family to be together both on the property and on the deck coming and going with ease. A bonus was watching the dolphin from living room. The huge refrigerator and ice machine came in very handy as well. Come prepared with beach towels and chairs as the property does not provide those.

Great for our family vacation!

Wonderful property for our family vacation! We were so impressed with the property, the cleanliness, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. One note that might help others traveling with little kids, there is not a great spot for a pack and play because the rooms are all packed with beds but we made it work. We've already booked again for next year!

All this house needs is an elevator for us older folks! Be back next year!! (Oh and maybe some new mattresses). ☺️😁❤️
