Great view of the ocean with easy access to a beautiful beach. The beach house was very clean and the elevator made it accessible to one of our elderly family members. The kitchen and living room is on the top floor with beautiful views and plenty of room for family dinners, games and just hanging out!

We had 4 generations together for Christmas. It was amazing, perfect! Ages 4 months to 84. The elevator was essential. The kayaks made it fun for the teens. Pet-friendly abd tge kitchen and dining room made family meals an absolute pleasure. The layout and hottub facilitated both big and small group discussions as well as quiet, private spaces. I wish I could think of ideas to offer for improvement, but we could not have asked for more.

The house is amazing and the beach view is amazing! The house was not clean though. No sheets or dirty sheets in a few rooms. Nowhere to sit soap in 3 showers. Big bug in 2 bathrooms 1 in kitchen and 3 in garage. Fans don’t work in some bathrooms. I had to sweep the area rugs and they had not been swept in who knows how long. And the floors were dusty. Management brought us the vacuum and bought racks for the soap. And remote for room that was missing one. They need to stay on top of the cleaning crew. This property is too beautiful to have lazy cleaning staff. The inspector needs to do a dust test. I’d stay here again knowing it was cleaned better and treated for insects and sheets washed and bleached.

Our extended family had a lovely experience. Having 10 bedrooms was perfect for us. The walk to the beach was easy. Having the second refrigerator was also a lifesaver.

It is everything as expected. The pictures didn't do it justice. Comfortable and clean stay. Thankful for the elevator to get luggage and groceries up.

Great place!
Excellent location and amenities. House was clean, great condition and every room was comfortable and well equipped. 16 people stayed here and we had plenty of room to spread out. All the king bedrooms having bathrooms was a huge plus! We will come back! My only frustration was we arrived in town 30 mins early and we had to wait for the code to update at exactly 4pm instead of allowing us the ability to go ahead and enter.
