The road to the property is terrible. The weather made using the golf course and beach impossible. Both fridges were damaged. Ice fridge hasn't been defrosted in ages. Constant beeping of systems was both annoying and troublesome. Only double bed was comfortable. Others were not. I would not recommend this property to anyone. ##### Peter B.
