This unit was absolutely perfect for our family of 4 for our Spring Break week. It had plenty of room for all of our luggage and other items we brought. The view of the ocean was incredible. Kitchen was well stocked. Air conditioning was incredible. Host checked in throughout the week. Plus, the little personalized gifts were a sweet and unique touch. Location was also great for us. Right on the beach and close to all of the other attractions nearby. Added beach chairs and umbrella with our rental was the cherry on top! We can't wait to see here again someday!
