Very good

We were first to rent after hurricane renovation, so it was essentially brand new. Good size and nicely laid out. Excellent to have grill, pool, and pass-through window from kitchen to outdoor dinning space. 10 minute walk to the beach in a very nice quiet location. Property is well-equipped for outdoor activities (2 bikes, beach chairs, wagon, pool furniture, grill). Agent was very responsive and communicated well. Great outdoor space. We would easily come back.
