Beach House with Ocean View - Rooftop Jacuzzi & Pool - Concierge Service

10/10 Excellent
"This house was amazing. From the rooftop pool to the huge patio deck, it provided everything a person could wish for in a vacation rental. The owner was extremely responsive before and during our rental period. The grounds were lovely and well kept up. The short walk to the beach was easy."
