Wonderful stay! The rental was centrally located to the beaches, which made getting around super easy. The startup amenities were great, everything was very clean, and the place felt comfortable and welcoming. The host was very responsive and quick to answer any questions or concerns. The outside area was perfect for our fur babies, which we really appreciated. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely rent again in the future.
