Wonderful stay

We had an amazing time. The home was very clean, beautifully decorated, well organized, very comfortable. We loved that we had so many towels and didn’t have to worry about washing towels while on vacation. The beach towels were nice. The pool is perfect and having a deck and bathroom in each room was amazing. We loved the outdoor area, we had dinner and watched a movie. Everything is close. We loved it! Oh, and we were able to bring our doggie. He loved it too. We will def book again.
