We had a great time! The house was perfect flr our crew of two couples and a teenager whobloved having their own space in the apt. The neighborhood was very convenient and was noce for walking or biking!
Rental property was great and we enjoyed the neighborhood. Two poles and a short to the beach. And our two little puppies enjoyed the backyard. Will definitely rebook.
