Great Stay.

This house is beautiful and spacious, and it definitely exceeded our expectations. The pictures don’t do it justice. We had a great time! The only trouble I had was getting the TV in the master bedroom and one of the bunk rooms to work properly. Overall, I would recommend it 10/10!

Great stay

Quite clean & pleasant... the oven racks & outside grill could've been cleaner. We had a few maintenance needs, which were addressed in a very timely fashion! Thank you! The air conditioner on the upper level gave out on our last evening, which was too bad, since it was too late in the day to be addressed. We would stay here again!

Excellent property with location, location, location

The house is nicely appointed with ample beds (very comfortable I may add), TVs in every room and a fresh supply of towels. The kitchen has all the basic utensils and appliances that you would have at home (although we did bring our own Nespresso). The location is very close to the beach so that it is convenient enough to go to the beach and go back to the house for a forgotten item, a quick meal or a bathroom break. The pool is a great amenity as it gives us a wet break from the crowded beach. The public beach is the only downside and the property manager can’t be held accountable for that. There is a public right of way but the area available to the public is very narrow and gets crowded by 10am. My advice to you is to set up your stuff by 8am and you have your area staked out for the day. At 4pm, the condos put away their chairs and umbrellas and take down the ropes so you can then roam the entire beach. I will definitely stay here again and we plan to!
