Spring Break

Great deal for location and we were able to bring our dog. Great to be able to see dolphins swimming on the ocean across the way and easy walk to beach with the public access right across the little ally street. Next to Schooners with amazing food. Ended up getting take out 3 times. There was a power issue (not the house issue power company issue) but when I messaged the property manager got back with me quick. Nice hot shower with good pressure

Getaway

Garage was a plus because Schooners blows sand every morning. It kept some of the dust off the car. Didn't use the hottub because looked like water needed to be change. Bed was comfortable and kitchen well supplied with utensils. Bathroom shower had great pressure. Balcony was nice until the sun took over. We cut our stay short because we felt unsafe. Lights kept flickering and lost power for 7 minutes to upstair and downstair master bedroom but had power to other bedroom and bath. We felt that it was a electrical problem and not safe to stay. They said they would try to send someone out. We didn't want to stick around and wait without a guarantee it would be fixed. All I was told was sorry for your inconvenience. So we left early. change water.
