Beach Getaway
This was by far one of the best vacation rentals. It was fully stocked with everything you need. The location was great. We had a problem with the tv in the living room and someone showed up in less than an hour to fix it. Turned out the remote needed new batteries. Communication was excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
