The house is great and the location is in an area of the beach that had a fair bit less traffic. We would definitely book this house again. The host agency is very attentive. The only issue, which didn't really affect us, was that the code for the door didn't work. They provided a key, which was fine.

Above Average - 4 Stars

This is the second time we have stayed at Shenanigans. We had a great time! The cargo lift was a definite plus. The hot tub is nice, but takes up a lot of space on the deck. We have stayed at Flamingo, and Serenity, twice. We will be back.
