Easy access to beach, very clean property, great location for restaurants, grocery stores, shopping. Beds already made up. Wonderful place for the 4 of us plus a 7 month old baby!
I cannot compliment enough to express how impressed we were with everything about our stay. From the ease of communication with the rental team, to the cleanliness of the accommodations, to the beautiful views-everything was exceptional! Every item we could have needed while away from home was at our fingertips.
I would definitely recommend renting to friends and family and would love to visit again.
