Great beach house with Great Host

The house was amazing from the decorations to the cleanliness! It's a great space for 8 people with a short walk to the beach. The area is very quiet with a cool backyard set up to hangout. Kristin was a great host, and she replies very fast. When I texted her about anything I had a response within minutes, with a solution to all of my questions. I highly recommending staying here as I will defiantly be coming back!
