Pinky’s playhouse was a spectacular stay! My family and I stayed there for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed the home and all of the amenities. The location was central to local restaurants, beaches, and shopping. The home was immaculate in cleanliness and the accommodations were so comfortable. Props to the host!
