Great little oasis not far from the beach
This home was great, the only issue that I had is that the beds were not made, they pulled up the duvet and left bags of fresh linens for us to make. Never had this experience before, and we have rented several homes thru VRBO. The back yard is a total oasis and thoroughly enjoyed our time!
