Cozy little rental

The property and location was perfect. We adored the quiet neighborhood, very relaxing, steps away from the beach. The pool was outstanding with the water feature. The home it self is small but perfect for our family of 4. The only complaints we had were the beds not being very comfortable. Other wise the place is great and property manager was wonderful checking in on us multiple times. Definitely recommend this rental!

Fun time!

We had a wonderful stay at the property. It was clean! It was close to the beach! It had an amazing pool! It didn’t have a lot of beach/pool stuff including beach chairs.
