Great Location and Value

We've stayed at this complex several times over the years, and this unit is definitely one of the best. First and foremost, Bob and Lillian were fantastic hosts—easily the most accommodating we've ever had. The beds were comfortable, and the home was spotless and nicely furnished. Being on the first floor and so close to the pool was a huge advantage, and the short walk to the beach made it even better. Without a doubt, we'll be staying here again.
