Good location. Nice pool, and close to beach and town. A couple of minor maintenance items that would have pushed overall rating higher.

It was even better than described!!! Beautiful property with a very short distance to the beach!!! It was absolutely everything we had been looking for!!
It was so nice to stay at this property. Very clean and plenty of room for our teenagers to have space. We loved the location to the beach and the nights at the pool. The kitchen is wonderful! I highly recommend this location. We would stay again!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Dirty, poorly furnished, essentials not there
The unit was filthy once on the property. Floors dirty. no lamps anywhere except two bedside table in MB very flimsy and cheap. surfaces on furniture and granite counters sticky and dirty. Chair in living area so bad it looked like it had been picked up on the side of the road. Had to put a sheet on it to sit. Surfboard in corner had pasties on a woman's breasts. Not family friendly. tacky and cheap. No coffee pot, dirty used hot pads, no can opener, no bottle opener.
