A great time!

The house was amazing. Great location! It was complete with welcome baskets! You will find everything you need in the kitchen. There were plenty of towels, including beach towels and chairs. That was extremely helpful. It has a nice outdoor seating area that we used daily, complete with grill. Some great restaurants within 10-30 minutes. Shannon, the host answered all questions very quickly. It truly was one of the best rentals we have stayed in.
