Great place thanks
Michael J. | Jun 2026
This is a beautiful home with an ocean view very well stocked with all items you would need for a large group. We would stay here again
Jill G. | Jun 2026
We loved everything and would stay here again. Ac works GREAT! Putting green was so fun! Definitely bring mosquito spray. They are horrible by the front door and on the putting green. The main bedroom definitely has alot of light coming through at night due to the lights that are on (you can’t turn them off) and it doesn’t sound like it’s going to be changed. So bring some poster boards or suction curtains to shove in there if you’re sensitive to light at night! There was pretty much everything we needed in the kitchen! We loved this beautiful home! If you have a hard time with stairs, these stairs are steep! If you have a little one maybe bring a gate cause we wished we would have for our 2 year old. We will Definitely stay here again!
