Lovely place. Sizable - modern and in a quite location. Pool was great and we didn't even go to the beach. Some minor issues resolved by the RSS crew relatively fast.

Hi Nathan,
Thank you for choosing our property for your pool party getaway! We're thrilled you enjoyed the spacious modern design and peaceful location - and especially happy the pool kept you entertained so well you didn't even need the beach!
We appreciate you acknowledging our RSS crew's quick response to those minor issues - guest comfort is always our top priority. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we'd love to welcome you back for another relaxing (or lively!) stay whenever you're ready. Maybe next time you'll get to enjoy both the pool AND the beach!
