This place was beautiful, spacious, very comfortable and clean. It was well equipped in the kitchen. It was right on the beach and the scenery from almost every window was of the ocean. Our host was helpful and kind. We couldn’t ask for anything any better.

The house was amazing!! The location to the beach was excellent and the view was wonderful. The bed was very comfy. The only thing that I can say needs to be considered is 3 things but these 3 things will not keep us from coming back. 1) there was no ironing board or iron. 2) I had to buy a skillet to cook breakfast because the one in the kitchen is older and everything sticks to it. 3) I wish there had been blinds ( the kind you just push up) on the living room windows. Other than that this was the most perfect place for a vacation!
