Lovely abode

We loved our time in this house. The interior was spacious and new and so lovely. We were able to walk to the beach after we crossed the street. It was about a 4 minute walk. We were close to all the entertainment and my son loved the pool. We will be trying one of the other properties soon.

Location is great

The location and physical property was great. Unfortunately, we were provided with the incorrect door code which made checkin not a positive experience. I called the provided number and spoke with 2 different women…both were convinced we were entering the code incorrectly…when they realized the provided code was incorrect they suddenly became more helpful. Had issues with the upstairs thermostat…it was HOT! A maintenance person was sent out…he was very helpful. Do no think we would book here again,
