Beautiful place and location

We had a wonderful time. Our group enjoyed the relaxed yet calming atmosphere, beautiful scenery and friendly people. The beach is a short walk across the way and the provided accessories made it super easy to navigate. The large deck was perfect for morning coffee and drinks in the evening while taking in the sunset. The app made it super easy to look up information and helped us plan accordingly. Loved our stay! Thank you so much.

Amazing property with everything one needs

This property is well worth the stay. It is a very nice place located in a great spot. Super convenient for beach access and restaurants. Our trip did not have great weather but still was a great time since we had a great property with easy check in and out. The beach cart was also a nice addition to the trip. Well worth it!
