"We stayed here for the week for our son’s wedding. All of the groomsmen were able to stay with us. The place is beautifully decorated. The furniture was comfortable and the beds were comfortable. We were amazed that they had left us toiletries and the beds were premade. The property provided a variety of cooking items. They were so flexible with us. They provided beach chairs, boogie boards and surf boards. The ocean was crystal clear and beautiful. It is so close to everything. So convenient to grocery stores and restaurants.

The walk to the beach is close and easily navigated. The only detriment I can think of is the laundry, which is located downstairs. It would be nice if there was a walkway provided to get to the washer and dryer without having to walk on the dirt/gravel/sand area. Communication is swift and Danielle and Doug were great at attending to any issues that came up while we were vacationing. Would recommend!!"
