Beach perfect
The property was better than the pictures. The pool and roof top deck were amazing. It was a short walk to the beach and had everything we needed for a beach day. Could not have asked for more for our family getaway. We will definitely be back.

Fun place to stay
This rental was absolutely beautiful. Tastefully decorated and comfortably designed, it seems like the owner really thought through what his guests would enjoy while staying here. We all appreciated how sparkling clean this house was when we checked in, and we are crazy particular about that kind of thing! The views are incredible from the rooftop. The home is about a block away from the beach and has a private pool area that is better than any I have seen before. We really enjoyed our time here.
