Nice!

This house looks just like the pictures! So if you love the pictures you’ll love the house. We were very pleased with the house and loved the gated community. The house is very close to the community pool and you have a straight shot to the beach, which is just a short, enjoyable walk. We would definitely stay there again!

Now THIS is Vacation

Absolute oasis- beautiful, spacious one level home that puts you in mind of a tropical getaway! You are 30 second walk from one pool and a 2 minute walk to the other. The private beach entrance is about 2.5 blocks away but it’s a straight walk. Can’t wait to visit again!

Awesome

We had a great time. The house was absolutely beautiful. We had plenty of room and everything we needed. The neighborhood was great, we had no issues during our stay. There was a bottle stuck in garbage disposal, be we removed that with no problem. The only issue we really had was not being able to connect to wifi, but we made it work. We would definitely stay here again.
