maybe new cleaners needed
The home was nice but might need a new maid service.Found dirty plate, glass and pans. Also in the garage, found an old coke bottle on the floor and a can of tobacco on the shelf. Had trouble getting the keys out of the lock box, had to call the office to get in and upon leaving as the lock box didn't want to work. Great location and nice lay out of the home.

awesome beach home
This is a very nice, spacious home with great balconies. It's a short walk from a great tidy neighborhood beach. It's nestled in a really nice Beach community. My family stayed there from infants to adults. We would definitely return. It is an amazing house.
