There were many stores, restaurants and of course the beach near by. This home is large and accommodated our family of 7 well. The only issue we had was the pool bathroom had a plumbing problem. The handyman sent out by the management company said he felt the pipe below ground had collapsed. So after only 3 days into our vacation we were down one bathroom which was a manager issue for us. I do realize the owners could not have predicted such a situation, never the less we would stay there again providing the bathroom situation is fixed. ##### Linda B.

Loved the spaciousness of the bedrooms, kitchen and living rooms. The kitchen had everything you would need for cooking or baking. The screened in pool was an oasis for our family to relax and swim.
