Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the easy access to the pool and beach, whether by golf cart or walking. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We would love to welcome you back again for another relaxing stay at the beach!
Host was friendly. Sad there were no beach chairs, umbrellas or toys. Had to purchase all of that and leave it when we left. Also, need kitchen linens like dish rags and towels and need a few blankets on the couches.
