Our best ever travel experience with a a vacation rental. Impeccably clean, direct access to the beach, extras one wouldn’t expect (snacks for us and the dogs!) and the Christmas decor. The lift made bringing our luggage to the main floor much easier and safer. And, the knees were very accommodating.
