First, the host Ticia, was responsive - communication was great. Second, the property is in a unique spot whereby the walk to the beach is short and pleasant, but when you're at the house it's so quiet and private that you feel like you're further away from activity than you really are. We all loved that. Third, and most important, the house is EXACTLY as pictured and it is SO clean. Perfectly clean and well appointed with fun amenities (i.e., pool/beach equipment) and kitchen amenities (i.e., utensils/cups/plates). Also, they do not use any fake fragrances like Plug-Ins, which is huge for me. We were there with friends and children ages 6 - 13 and everyone was comfortable, whether by the pool or in the house hanging out or tucked into bed for the night...it was great for all of us. Finally, the house has a really sweet history that you'll learn about when you book it. ;-) It is beyond a five star stay!
