The house was beautiful! Each bedroom had its own bathroom, which worked out great. Two refrigerators, two ovens and an ice maker. It was right on the beach!

Beautiful Home
A friend of mine and I stayed here with 6 kids. It was the perfect property for us. They loved the pool and the elevator (like another reviewer said- kids should only ride on it with an adult as it is easy to get stuck on). The house was clean and beautiful. We would absolutely stay here again. The little soap/shampoo boxes were a nice touch. We also utilized the multiple washer and dryers on each floor.

Gorgeous property
The property is beautiful and right on the beach, the property management company was on top of maintenance requests. The home is very roomy with great accommodations for our large family. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking essentials. The only issue we had was with the elevator, I understand that it is not a commercial elevator, but it is very confusing to figure out how to operate. Do not allow your children to use it alone, as we had one of ours get stuck in it. All in all, it was a fantastic stay!

This property was the best property for our family! Everyone enjoyed their stay and no one was on top of one another. We’re very thankful we were able to find a home that’ll hold our size family! We’ve already discussed next year’s trip with this same company.

Right on the beach was great! If you are planning on cooking at this location you will need to purchase everything. Salt, pepper, condiments everything. I will plan better next time. We had a great time.

Relaxing
It was a great vacation! We were there during Spring Break but it was a quiet location, never had any problems. The house is big and spacious but still had enough space to decompress by yourself at the end of the day. We wished that the elevator went to the 3rd floor but that is just a minor inconvenience. We really enjoyed the heated pool at the end of the day to relax, watch the sunset and listen to the waves.
The locals are super friendly, plenty of places to shop and explore! I would recommend this place to everyone! We are looking forward to coming back next year!
