10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The unit was clean and well stocked. The property was well located with good access to the beach. The only issue though was the master was on the hot side although the AC was blowing. We ended up using the ceiling fan a lot. Otherwise, our stay was nice and we enjoyed ourselves.
