Loved that it included parking, beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, and bikes. Bed was firm but comfortable. The only thing I would’ve like to have is another blanket on the bed!

Location, location, location
What a great experience! The property itself was adorable, clean, in the heart of Pass-A-Grille, but across street from the beach! It could not have been better. The support staff for this unit is incredibly responsive. We WILL be back! The saltwater pool was amazing, bikes were a bonus!
