Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark B. 9 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quick get away We came down on 5 July and returned on 9 July. Wife and I wanted to go somewhere quick just to reset. Our 2 granddaughters (13 yrs old) found out and we don’t say no to them so they came with us. It was Great! We were right on the beach. Check in / Checkout in were effortless. Very clean. I would only recommend that the master bath be converted into a stand up shower only. Very useable bathroom don’t get me wrong. Having a standup shower, would give you more room. The place was exactly like the photos. No surprises, you see what you get. We will be back and we hope the grandkids get to come back with us. Wonderful time spent making memories with the 3rd generation. ##### Mark B.
