Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The location of the property was great, and the view from the windows and balcony was absolutely beautiful — definitely the highlight of the stay. Unfortunately, the overall experience was let down by poor cleanliness. The bed sheets were dirty, with hair and animal fur on them, which made it clear they hadn't been properly washed. I also noticed that the windows and balcony, although offering a great view, were quite dirty as well. I tried calling the office to report these issues, but no one answered since it was after 5 PM on a Friday. It's disappointing, because with better cleaning and attention to detail, this place could have been a fantastic stay.

Bday Getaway

I wanted to go to the beach for my 58th. My two best friends and my two daughters and I got to spend my bday in this very nice home. Honestly, there was a very musty smell when we arrived but the house was very clean! We opened the windows and aired it out and it was all good. We sat out on the deck during the day and at night. To hear the ocean while you're sleeping?? What a bonus! We also saw Dolphins from the deck! We did drive down to the beach instead of taking the trail and steps. Old knees lol. All in all..great place to stay and had a fantastic time!
