Great property with amazing pool
The property is amazing but the pool door alarm, which is probably mandatory by law, causes a lot of stress! The property is exactly as shown in the photos and everything is working, decorated with good taste, and everything is brand new with great kitchen appliances. As suggestions I would include: some shadow for at least one car, a blender, and a keurig coffee maker.
Would stay again at this property!

Great Stay
Very well appointed, clean and updated house. We loved the pool, and short walk to the beach. Also, can walk to plenty of restaurants. A great location!
