Thank you for the great feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the property and found it comfortable and convenient to the beach. Hope to welcome you back soon!
This was a great place to spend our family vacation. Hosts were very quick to respond to our questions and action any observations. The one of the coffee makers was not working properly and we got a brand new one within the hour. Would definitely book again.
