Floor plan allowed for privacy for each bedroom. There was generous plenty of linens, toiletries, and starter cleaning supplies.. The add on for heating the pool was money well spent (especially in March). Having ample supply of beach chairs and beach towels helped with packing. Our small dog loved the huge screen porch. I just don’t have anything bad to say! We all loved it!

The home was absolutely fabulous - walked two blocks to the beach and enjoyed swimming in their wonderful pool after time at the beach and lounging in the large screened in porch. Beds were very comfortable and had nice linens in each bedroom and bathroom. Appreciated the host providing beach towels, beach chairs and lovely seating around the pool.
