May 2026

i stayed 9 nights and 10days. The house was very easy to find and check into, the management for the house was very friendly and easy to deal with. check in was a breeze and the walk to the beach was easy. the house was very nice and big! i booked this for me and my husband for my “baby moon”. my only complaint would be that you could tell it wasn’t stayed in for a while, things were a little dusty and a few dead bugs at the door way, there was only one extra TP and one trash bag also no hand soap in any of the bathrooms. i did have a problem with the Ac but the management company had it fixed right away. all together it was a great stay and i would book again.
