Our family and friend absolutely enjoyed our stay! Not used to a stocked house with everything you need! Close to beach and shops but far enough away to go relax after all the chaos and noise! Never had to reach out to the owners. Everything was perfect and comfortable! They do a wonderful job of providing you with everything! Only downer was tvs is not cable and we are not familiar with surfing through roku. But honestly who cares....we played games so not much TV needed! If your looking for a nice place this is it! I could go on and on! THANK YOU SHOUT OUT TO THE OWNERS! ##### LORI H.
