House was perfect for our family of 12 including 4 grandchildren. Great location, close to beach and nice ocean view. Having 3 golf carts was extremely helpful.
Spent a wonderful week with my family at this great property. It was large enough for everyone to have their own space. It is well laid out so that there is ample shared space for gathering. Great views from the upper deck!
