The listing said 1 King and 2 Queen beds. In reality, one of the Queen beds is really a Full size bed. The surfaces were clean and the house had soap, detergents, etc. However, we found 4 giant cockroaches in the kitchen and bedrooms. The location is ideal -- close to restaurants and entertainment and a quick trip to the beach.

pool
based on the online picture the pool appeared as if it was onsite. We were not expecting a community pool. Overall it was a great experience.
