This house is even better in person. The property manager/team were fantastic and checked in a couple of times by text to see if we needed anything. The pool is great and the backyard is massive, with a great family sitting area and more space with lounge chairs. Tall fence really made it feel private and helped with the dog. It’s so close to the beach. Will stay here again for sure.
