Thank you for allowing us to stay at such a beautiful place. It was everything we exp ected. The ocean view was superb. The home , pool and the elevator was outstanding. Everything you needed was supplied. Thank you for allowing me to bring my small boat. The area was quiet and pleasant. Our grandson is in a wheelchair and there was plenty of room to navigate him around including the elevator. Our vacation was one of the best due to a wonderful place and people.

Beautifully decorated house with everything you could possibly need! We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and private beach access. Plenty of sand toys, beach chairs, and beach towels provided. All the bedrooms and baths were comfortable and well-appointed. The living room, kitchen, and dining room were perfect for our group of 8 including one toddler. The host went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We would definitely recommend this beautiful home.
