The property is exactly as described on VRBO.. perfect for us and our two girls (14 and 11). They loved the bunk beds! The king size bed in the master bedroom was SO comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals on the nights that we stayed in! Great location with a very short walk to the beach. We would definitely stay here again!
