Beautiful home and great area

The house was well stocked and as nice as the pictures online. It was a little too cool to enjoy the pool, but we did enjoy the outdoor seating area.

This was the second time we stayed in this home. We absolutely love it here! Tons of room for my family of 4. Everything we needed in the kitchen to cook our meals, and having our own pool is just the cherry on top. This house is close to a great grocery store and several good restaurants. Highly recommend!
Nice sized pool, 6 feet at deep end. Owner provided good selection of floaties.
View of street from porch off of master bedroom. Gorgeous landscaping!

Home was in quiet neighborhood. Located near stores & restaurants. Short drive to beach. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Pool was awesome & enjoyed sitting at the patio table with umbrella late in the evening. Dog friendly. Back yard was fully fenced around pool for privacy.
