Amazing!
We had a fabulous vacation. Listing was just as described and the owners communicated wonderfully. Due to my overlooking the wifi password I reached out and got a response quickly and that was the only "issue" we had the whole week. Area was amazing. Thank you for a great experience

Very good property, everything needed is there!
Property is close to the grocery, stores and the beach! All you need is included in the property like tennis racquet, beach toys, trolley and even rice cooker! Joseph was an excellent host and he will make sure everything will be “taken cared” off, for us to enjoy our vacation. Will definitely rent again in the future! A++ rating!

I wish we would have had a golf cart, because of the distance to the beach
