We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Pool was nice and big, house was spacious and nice. Very well equipped with all of the stuff that we needed. Plenty of nice towels, clean linen are just some of the things that make you feel like you’re at home. Contacting owner was really easy, fast responding to my messages. Also house was in the nice and quiet neighborhood and really close to the several beaches. We loved the house and will definitely be looking forward to book it again.
