We LOVED it !
This place is our number 1 so far ! Very close to the beach and pool is clean. Very pretty inside. I loved huge kitchen. Bathrooms are clean and all of appliances are functional and not old !
Only con about the area (which is nothing to do with the house we stayed) is … there is a crazy local couple.
We ran into them at beach one day.
They like to argue with visitors (not just us but other people at beach) and acted like they own whole beach… we ended up speaking with police about them. Please watch out for locals.
