Our teen daughters had room to be teenagers and enjoyed the pool. Although we were close to the beach, numerous restaurants and a touristy area, the property felt excluded and quiet. Everything worked well and the few questions we had when we arrived were promptly answered by the hosts. ##### Leah L.
