The house is just as described in the listing. Very beautiful, clean, and spacious. Enough space for everyone in our party and even when others that we knew stop by, we still had enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Sandra and her team were great hosts, they responded to our questions and issues quickly. They gave great instructions when it came to the house and fixed any problem that we had. The bikes were a great addition and made cruising the neighborhood much fun. Sitting out back on the back patio by the firepit to unwind after a long day was an added plus. Great location with being only about a ten-minute walk to the beautiful beach and a five-minute drive to the local stores if needed. This home really did serve our purposes very well. We definitely enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again or at any other properties that they manage.

Sandra is a great host; everything is as described in the website and house manual was so helpful. A short walk to the beach but we often drove and were able to find parking. Plenty of room for the eight of us. We hope to be back again !
