Loved, Loved, Loved! Beautiful Property (just like the pictures)! Very clean and well stocked. Tons of fresh clean towels, washclothes and linen. Kitchen cabinets and drawers equipped with every device and utensil you could ever need. One point to make however, if your party consists of 7 or more, you'll definitely need to bring your own larger pots and pans or you'll be repeatedly cooking for hours on end. The 2nd floor takes a while to cool at night so be aware, but when it eventually does all is well! Perfect beachfront location! Easy access to the beach! Plenty of space and chairs for lounging on the lower level and upper balconies.The Will definitely book again!
