The house is just beautiful; exactly as described. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book again! Our hosts, Jesica and George, were attentive to every detail and need. Not only that, the home has everything you need! From kitchen appliances to kids toys to board games to beach chairs, beach tent, beach toys, etc. Everything is labeled for easy identification and it’s clear that the hosts have set up the home with care, love and detail for the guests.
