We had a wonderful time! The location was nice. There were a few areas for improvement such as; the condo was a little small, there were 5 spiders found the first two days, and the back burner of the stove did not work properly. However, we loved the wildlife (chipmunks, baby deer, ducks, baby and mama fox), the wine gift was a nice touch, easy to check in and proximity to the beach was excellent! The host was quickly responsive when we struggled to figure out the gate. We will be back with our family next year :)
