Paradise

This property was simply one word; AMAZING!!! The location was top tier. I love the many access points to the private beach. The house itself was so accommodating. I love the many sitting areas both indoor and outdoor. I can not wait to visit this location again.

Spacious, comfortable

Cleaning crew was still cleaning at our check in time. We sat outside and waited until they finished. House was beautiful! My only complaints were we couldn’t get the hot tub to heat up- no instructions on how to get it going, no trash bags were left for the main trash can. Busy streets to get in and out. Comfortable beds!

Thank you for staying with Ocean Reef Resorts and providing this valuable feedback. Unfortunately the whirlpool is only heated when the pool is heat and that can be done for an extra fee from October to April. We hope that your travels bring you back to the beautiful shores again soon.
