The air conditioning was nice and cold, the beds were firm but comfortable, and the shower was great! The property has what I needed to cook a simple breakfast and a cute washer/dryer combo so that we could wash before we repacked. Each room provided privacy and a tv for our teens with access to our own Netflix accounts. It was also close to the beach and all the things we wanted access to. We'll be back! ##### Courtney P.
