The view is awesome here with no obstructions of the ocean. The property was very clean and modern. The A/C blows very cold on our hot end of summer vacation. The host was very responsive when I had questions. We had 6 adults and 5 children and there was room to spare. Our group will surely stay at this rental again in the future.
