Appreciated the cleanliness and well stocked kitchen and bathroom. A couple more towels and wash clothes would have been appreciated but there was plenty of detergent to launder. The back patio dining table as well as upper level balcony seating made the space seem bigger and was enjoyed. The beach gear was in newer condition and great to utilize. The location was safe, quiet and easily accessible to various restaurants and activities. We held this VRBO to high standards as frequent travelers.
