Kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed and more. Bath and bed linens were plentiful. We had a problem with the elevator- onsite management responded quickly and kept us informed to as they arranged repairs in less than 24 hours. Bedroom views were lovely from all large bedrooms and bunk rooms were well supplied. Four full bathrooms on the sleeping floor were perfect for our group of 9 adults. Upstairs living space and balcony were very comfortable for our little family reunion.

My husband, myself and our friends had an awesome time staying here for our annual friend vacation. The property was beautiful, the house is decorate so cute, the pool was a great place to hang out after a days at the beach and the view was stunning. We had the best time and are hoping to be able to come back next year. The property management company was also very easy to get a hold of if needed. Will definitely be back!
