Really beautiful spot! The pictures were very accurate. It is a very large place and so nice to be able to walk straight out to the beach. The kitchen was very well equipped. The bathrooms were clean and fully supplied. We would stay here again. Thank you

We spent 3 night in this property and our overall stay was great, we do recommend this house.The highlights are:• closeness and beach access • rooms, halls, bathrooms are very spacious• it is a fairly renewed property• love the fact that is has a pool and hot tub• nice big kitchen and plenty of chairs inside and outside• two car garage and you can park two other vehicles outside.Things that can be improved and already shared with the owner:• there are no locks in the bathrooms, it will be also great to have locks in the bedrooms• some bathrooms doors slide and have hooks that are supposed to attach to another hook but none of them matched• it will be easier to have a garage remote that way no one has to stay behind while taking the cars out so that this person can close the garage from the inside and then exit to the main door.• some bathroom floors start showing mild mold.And that is all

Beautiful home! Clean and spacious. Wonderful pool and great access to the beach. Everything was way better than the website photos. When we needed more propane for the grill, SPI Rentals came out and replaced it right away. It was easy with check-in/out and they responded instantly with answers to our questions. Our family had the best vacation here and will be returning!
