We had a great time!

We loved this place. Perfect for us! The swim spa was great,it helped so much with muscle tension. The outdoor shower was amazing,i loved it in the moonlight. Our dog loved the yard you don't have to worry because there's no way to get out, the fence is very secure. The house was decorated beautifully. So close to the beach, we watched fireworks on the beach our last night there, they was amazing. I love that the beaches are dog friendly. Just can't say enough good things about this place, no complaints at all.
