Great Place
There were only 2 of us and we had this huge house to ourselves. This is a family-friendly "home" with a large open kitchen/dining/family room area, lots of open space, and a great screened in outdoor swimming pool with jacuzzi. Large 2-car garage as well as 2 or more car driveway in a safe neighborhood. The garage had a washer and dryer, kitchen is fully equipped. Owners were very friendly and responsive, and very helpful in answering questions about where to eat, visit, etc. I would love to call this place home, it's better than my own!

Excellent house for families
Great location , close to amazing beaches , and attractions . Spacious rooms for our granddaughter to roam around . Fantastic pool and deck area to play in and relax . Beautiful new kitchen and appliances to plan meal times with ease . So much better than being stuck in a small hotel room . We found the surrounding neighbors to be friendly and helpful suggesting restaurants and shopping venues . Our management contact for the property answered every call and was very professional and patient and helped us with any questions we may have had . Would not hesitate to use again .
