We had an incredible stay for our extended family gathering. Stan was a great communicator. The kids really loved the pool, and it was very close to the beach. Grownups loved the front porch, comfy beds and convenient location. We had a hard time not walking to Camille’s for iced coffee every day. Home had a bit of wear, but I brought them up to the host, and he was gracious and arranged for repairs for the next renter.
