Perfect Location
Ideal location, within walking distance to everything you need. Great amenities and tons of space to host dinner with friends. Heated Floors and towel racks along with amenities made it feel like a luxury stay.
This is a great rental, I would definitely book again.
You won’t find a better location to stay in St Andrews. 150 yards from Old Course 18 green. Ocean view was amazing. 2 king bed and 2 master baths was a perfect set up. When I return to St Andrews I won’t be staying anywhere but here.
