We had a weekend for our sibling gathering at a destination to be enjoyed and rest as we all have a busy life. I arrived with an intention of a wonderful time together with laughter and sharing together. The facility was beautiful with looking out over the beach and ocean that I could not fault the view. Just loved it and would like to visit the place again. It was well supplied with kitchen utensils and nice and big to share with everyone.GMH.

Would Definitely Stay Again !!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay! The absolute beachfront location was the highlight waking up to the ocean views and being just steps from the sand was amazing. The home was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed our only suggestion is to update the shower heads to something more newer as the water pressure felt more like a sprinkler other then that check-in was easy, and the management team was friendly and responsive. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway. 🌊☀️
