This was the perfect place for a girls trip! Great location with plenty of space and parking for all of us. I highly recommend renting a golf cart to go back and forth to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

I would recommend anyone staying here to rent a golf cart ahead of time if arrival. Its a good walk to the beach and no parking at the beach except for golf carts. The house itself was great and roomy

This place was awesome. Little bit of a walk from the beach, but we had someone drive us back and forth so we all didn’t have to walk it. It was an awesome house. Very modern and clean! Host was awesome. We would for sure stay here again.

The property was clean and provided plenty of towels and other essentials. The shower is amazing and the property is just a short walk from the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and there was enough parking for 4 vehicles. LOVED this stay.
