Cozy home with private pool
Lovely home and neighborhood.The pool was great to have, and the kids loved the pool table. Convenient to downtown and the beach. Thanks for being pet friendly so we could bring our other family member along. Beds are comfortable and we had everything we needed. Would stay here again.
