Vitamin Sea for the WIN

The house is gorgeous and spacious. Great location, close to beach, restaurants and shops. Only suggestions would be to update the beds, provide more towels (washcloths and hand towels) in bathrooms and perhaps a bigger water heater. If more than one shower being used at once, water is lukewarm. We loved the outside decks with seating and the open concept on third floor.
