The a/c was nice and cool, the room was clean. We were there for the boat races (my husband was racing) and the location was great. I took a beach chair and a couple beach towels with me to the beach to watch the races. The bed was really comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen but it had everything we would have needed. Thank you so much!

Perfect spot

My mom and I booked a staycation here for her 60th birthday. The house is perfectly situated where you get the beautiful views of Lemon Bay and then a quick 5-7min walk to the beach. The common areas (pool, dock, etc) were great. The suite itself was perfect for the two of us. Very clean and comfy. The host was great at communicating. Will definitely be back!
