This house is perfect for bachelorette trips! The neighborhood is so cute, the pool is nice, and you're literally a 5 minute walk to the beach. The management team is very easy to communicate with and accommodating. The only thing you should know beforehand is the back door, leading out to the pool, has an alarm that you have to press to shut off every time you go in or out. I believe this is because of the property's concern for the A/C and it appears most of the neighbors had this as well. It's annoying at first but you get used to it! Honestly besides that, this house is perfect!

Thank you for the feedback on the alarm! We will start including more information in our check in instructions about it. It's a required alarm for child safety when the pool doesn't have a fence between the home and the pool. We appreciate you staying with us and with the information on the alarm we can improve our guest experience. See you next time.
Beautiful property, enjoyed our stay very much. Conveniently located for walking distance to beach, restaurants and activities. Easy to navigate to local restaurants, shops and activities. Private pool and home allows for tired kids to rest. Would like to have entered with more clean facilities. Cleaner outdoor space. Additional toiletries. Such as toilet paper/papertowelsKitchen basics- salt/pepperOverall satisfied and would recommend property
