Beautiful home with perfect location

I took my daughter and a few friends down to the beach to celebrate her 16th birthday. This home is just the perfect choice for us and we had a fabulous time. The home provides a golf cart and four bicycles. The location of the home is one minute golf cart ride to the beach access and it’s located in a beautiful gated community. We could not have asked for a better property to celebrate this special occasion. Will stay here again.

Communication was quick and concise. The house was well furnished for all our needs. It was a short walk to beach access.
