5 star experience and location

My large family stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate my grandma turning 90. It was a very smooth check in process. The house is gorgeous with plenty of space for everyone. The lift was essential for my grandma, and it worked great. The beach is right in front of the property and easy to walk to. I highly recommend this location.
