### Spacious newer home within walking distance of secluded beaches and polo fields.

10/10 Excellent

"It was lovely having a place large enough for 3 adults and 3 children. The beaches were great; we enjoyed the area very much. The house overall was in great shape, the combination door lock was very challenging for my sons and me; made it a frustrating entry each time.... might be time for a new lock system? Otherwise, it was perfect for our gathering place. Thank you!"
