    We loved the house! Check-in and Check-out were very simple. Provided amenities and supplies were appreciated. Walkway to the beach was nice and an easy walk.

    When we first arrived we were quite impressed with the accommodations. Soon we discovered that the cleaning crew hadn’t done a good job. I contacted the property manager and a new cleaning crew promptly arrived. They did a terrific job. We delighted in the beach access, pool and areas in the home where we could gather to play family games.

    The house was perfect for our two families. The kids enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to the beach. The adults loved the kitchen, outdoor patio area, and the many bathrooms! We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay there again!

    Great location, on site pool was awesome to keep the kids occupied. Size of the common areas was great. Need ceiling fans in all bedrooms. Kitchen knives and scissors are all dull. Plenty of dishes, loved the ice maker. I'd come again.

    The home was located just minutes to the beach. It was spacious and big enough for our family. The children slept upstairs and it worked out great to where the adults had the main level. The only downfall was the dishwasher didn't get the dishes very clean and the oven took longer than usual to preheat. I loved the extra refrigerator in the lower level. We loved the pool for the kids after they came back from the beach! Easy access to shops and restaurants. We would definitely rent this house out again!

    Overall the property was nice, but maintenance was lacking. Insulation hanging under house. Wiring exposed in many locations. Pool was very nice. Comfortable house, but could have been cleaner. Appliances were a problem. Washer broke, coffee pot was broken, promptly replaced. Washer took several days to repair. Big issue! Labels need updating. Grill had to be lit manual. Promised it would be replaced but wasn't. Location of house is excellent. If maintenance was done this home could be perfect.

    The location and size of this property were perfect for our large family. Our only recommendation would be too upgrade the beds, they were not the most comfortable to sleep in. We would definitely rent this house again!!
