Fantastic place for our family and friends to relax!
The house was great. We had enough beds and bathrooms for everyone. The house was very clean. We had an issue with the pool jets one day and I sent a text. It was fixed within an hour. The wrap around top deck was nice to sit on. You can see the sound. The walk to the beach wasn't bad. We had a 5 and 7 year old with us. Nice outside shower with hot and cold water to rinse off before getting into the pool or hot tub. Overall, we had 9 adults and 5 kids with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. We would definately stay here again.

Property unacceptable. Black mold in multiple rooms. It was even coming out of base of ceiling fan in living room, vents, walls, shower curtains. Kitchen poorly equipped. Cabinets peeling. We used 5 beds. Mattresses so bad, two guests slept on sofa. One blanket for entire house.
