I really loved the location it was perfect privacy and the scenery being in walking distance of the beach was amazing. It was my birthday weekend and being in a gated community the guys at the gate made us feel at home. Location was great we were right around the corner from most restaurants and stores. Very beautiful home great location no complaints highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be in that location.

The home, pool, and beach access was great. Beautiful property. The house was very slim in regard to toilet paper and supplies for a home of 12. Not a big deal, but slim compared to other vacation homes we have stayed at.
