The location with the beach is wonderful. We particularly enjoy the complimentary beach chairs/umbrella. The Stewby's food joint within walking distance is a distinct bonus. We have stayed at this location twice and we will be back.

Amazing location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Recently spent a week with my family here. Great location. Loved every minute of it. The beach service made our stay so much better. They also had a pool, but we didnt get in once. Only issue really was the elevators. But after a day, we figured out that we had to be quick. Highly recommend this place!!!
