The house and property were amazing and the location was perfect to access the beach. The heated pool was also a huge plus. Very comfortable beds too! My only criticism is the construction next door and overall a loud area. We had a wonderful time !

The home was clean and the pool was enjoyable. The washer does not work, which was disappointing.
