Perfect family getaway

We loved our stay here and had plenty of room for me, my husband, his parents, and our two kids (3 and under). This VRBO had all the we could ask for and more with beach necessities, bikes, comfortable beds, outside games, and overall cleanliness. We would stay here again if we come back to town!

A perfect stay

The townhome was super clean and the decor/furnishings were top notch. The kitchen provided a wide variety of appliances and utensils which made eating in ideal. The development was quiet and nice. My son enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed the loop around the residence for my evening walks.

We enjoyed the stay very much. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything that you could possibly want. beds were very comfortable . The seating in the common area is very comfortable, and the televisions worked very well however, there were no televisions in two of the bedrooms. The condo was convenient to the city and easily accessible . We did not use the pool facilities at all. We would stay there again.

The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. Clean and spacious rooms. Conveniently located to everything. The only downside is the unit backs up to the causeway. Could only hear it from the master bedroom during the day and the dcreened in porch.
