Big house with an excellent view. You can even see the sunset from the master bedroom balcony! The location is close to everything without feeling crowded. You are literally on the beach, and there’s plenty of room to spread out without being too close to your neighbors!

A house of this size is bound to need some repairs, but everything that was needed is mostly cosmetic. The beds and couches were comfy which is a must when sleeping away from home.

The house looks just like it’s pictured. We only had a few issues that maybe we missed in the fine print. This house has 3 flights of stairs. There is an elevator but it does not work. There is no walk way to the beach only a trail through the sand, this made it difficult for a few of our guest to get out to the beach. The kitchen lacks a few pieces of cookware such as a baking sheet/ pizza pan and a few more oven mitts would be nice. There also ended up being no pull out couch in the living room, just two couches that someone could sleep on. We had a few individuals back out so still had plenty of space. The best thing about this house were the amount of bathrooms. Overall, we enjoyed our time at the house and the location to restaurants/the store are nice. The beach wasn’t overly crowded.

Located on front beach in a perfect spot for access to restaurants etc. Loved that we were supplied with numerous bath towels, etc.
