With 6 BR and 4 baths, we had room to relax and enjoy our time. Each unit has a large area for food, watch soccer and meet. Only a short walk to the beach (2 blocks) and nice outside patio area. ##### William M.

House is very well stocked for cooking or going to the beach, which is a very short walk. Beach wagon was great for the littles. ##### Sharon O.

This is a great place and so close to the beach!! Although we were not in the house too much, we enjoyed the spacious living area when we were! Kitchen and bathrooms were beautiful and the beds were comfortable! We appreciated and used the beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels that were provided! Another bonus was all the fans! Each room had a ceiling fan and there were were four new floor fans which all helped keep us cool! Tony was easy to communicate with and quick to respond! ##### Barbara S.
