Couldn't have asked for anything more!!!
This vacation was exceptional for our family, and everything from booking the rental to checking out was perfect! Our property manager, Karen, went above and beyond to accommodate us. Her first phone call was the same day I booked our rental. She was very thorough regarding the rental process, details of our rental home, and recommendations for golf cart rentals. We scheduled a grocery delivery we thought we might miss due to traffic, and she offered to take care of it without hesitation. She also hand-delivered a broom to our house when we couldn't find one. The house was the perfect size for our family and was spectacularly clean when we arrived. It was stocked with everything needed for the beach and more! We will be booking again!!
