This house is stunning. Perfect for a Labor Day weekend get away with a couple friends/ family. Very inviting and had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. Games, great size yard, stocked kitchen (if you like to cook, you will love this house), across the street from the golf course, and short drive to beaches/ restaurants/ and bars. Extremely clean, thoughtfully designed. We had a great time!
