Traveled with family
Liked: Cleanliness
Pros: property was spacious and clean; great location; easily accessible to restaurants and activities; communications with the property manager excellent. Cons: upstairs air didn’t work during our stay; ceiling fans in living room also inoperable. House came with one magnetic key card to access beach, which, with a group of people posed problems. Found out late in week that there was a code for the gate that could be used. Would’ve been nice to know at outset.
