Our stay at this property was wonderful. The house is nicely decorated and furnished. The pool which was recently installed was a nice bonus. The location is great with only a few minutes' walk to the beach. We will definitely stay here again.

The house is beautiful, lots of lighting and very clean. The outside is just as beautiful! Love the banana trees and the pool was the main attraction for the kids. The pool has a ledge in the front that runs the width of the pool for smaller children that cant swim. Our grandson felt like he was swimming with the rest of the kids! Beautiful place all around!!
