This was place was so AMAZING we were lucky enough to add another day onto our stay. It felt like home away from home. It didn't have that rental feel to it. We had 5 kids with us so the game room and lower outdoor game/lounge/bbq area kept them preoccupied when we weren't at the beach. The pool is the community pool down the street and was free for the kiddos to go swim as well as a playground and a skatepark!! So if you have boarders like my kids make sure you bring them it'll be hours of fun for them. The location is quiet and the views are beautiful. We had everything we needed down to spices and what we didn't have (in spices) we added to their collection for the next vacationers. When I say you don't have to bring anything but your clothes and food I mean it. The beds were so comfortable, showers were Amazing and they have laundry shoots to make your life easier on doing laundry it was great with the kids and showers. I LOVED the outdoor shower when we would get back I made everyone rinse and fast wash outside before coming in and made them leave shoes outside to make sure to keep the sand where it belonged. We will definitely be back and this is the home that my entire family wants to come back too. Oh yes TVs in every room including game room and outside on the upper deck, wifi and cable. Literally home away from home accept with the beach right around the corner. I just have to say Thank You to the owners because you gave my family amazing memories.
