The main house is okay. Has 2 firm queen beds. Down stairs with exterior entrance only has a king and small kitchenette. This room was uninhabitable. The smell of mildew and mold everywhere including the bed sheets. I took pictures and ended get refunded 25% of my stay. Was a big inconvenience for our group not to have the master. Also the pool is very deep all the way across. As soon as you step off steps it’s almost 5ft deep.
It was so cute the private room down stairs was huge my oldest got to stay in the room he loved the privacy!

The outdoor space makes this awesome!Nicely decked with a larger pool than expected. The downstairs bedroom is where we choose to stay as it had a really comfy king size bed. This property had ZERO bugs. Super clean. No outdoor grill as listed, but that’s ok. We really loved the pool and loved it was a pet friendly place too. Close to restaurants and close to the beach.
It was an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Location was great and accommodations were nice. Pool was dirty upon arrival and was a little hard to keep clean from dirt on bottom of floor. Some mildew found around shower in upstairs unit. Also ac or blower was a little hard to control. Besides that everyone had a great time. Thank you
