The outdoor space makes this awesome!Nicely decked with a larger pool than expected. The downstairs bedroom is where we choose to stay as it had a really comfy king size bed. This property had ZERO bugs. Super clean. No outdoor grill as listed, but that’s ok. We really loved the pool and loved it was a pet friendly place too. Close to restaurants and close to the beach.

Fun in the Sun
It was an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Location was great and accommodations were nice. Pool was dirty upon arrival and was a little hard to keep clean from dirt on bottom of floor. Some mildew found around shower in upstairs unit. Also ac or blower was a little hard to control. Besides that everyone had a great time. Thank you
