This was a great place for our family of 17.

This home was perfect for a family getaway vacation. We had little ones ranging from under 1 to 12 years old. It was enough space for all the kids to play and run around and an easy walk to the beach. The only drawback was we did not feel the house was thoroughly cleaned. This home needs a deep cleaning. There was leftover food on the windowsill, and a cleaning tag in the freezer. When we went to clean the house before we left, some of the sweepers did not have bags. The one that did was jampacked full and my husband had to empty it as there were no extra bags. Overall our family had a wonderful time in this house though.

Don't forget the pool

Wonderful location, perfect house with all the amenities, price and product evenly matched, home showing signs of wear. Big house for a big family. Would rent again.

Perfect!!

The house was perfect!! My family and extended family had plenty of space to spend time together and also to have separation when needed. The kitchen was well stocked with two coffee pots, plenty of pots, pans and serving dishes also. The property and pool area were very clean. The distance to the beach was walkable with stuff and toddlers.
