Reviewer Comments:
This was the perfect getaway for me and my family. The location was great and the house size was great. There were boogie boards and beach toys available on location for use and it was huge plus that there was a garage for our use. Loved the patio right in front of the pool. Can’t wait to rent it again...even for a weekend getaway.
