10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This house was amazing. Beautiful and perfect in every way. It accommodated our family of 5 adults and 6 kids from infant to 12 yrs. I gave 5 stars in all categories except property listing description for which I gave 4 stars because it would have been helpful to know the property furnished a pack n play, high chair, beach towels, shampoo, conditioner & body soap. With that said, I could have reached out to the host and asked because communication with them was great. This truly is a 5 star beach house that I highly recommend.
