We mentioned about the flies, they moved us rooms and we didn’t have another problem. Only downside was the tv wasn’t a smart tv unlike the other room, so we couldn’t watch anything.

The stay was fantastic, from the spacious floor plan to all the bedrooms available for my family and friends. It was the perfect location to spend the holidays with loved ones. We had an amazing time on the beach, even with the crisp fall weather, and the view was absolutely priceless.

8/10 Very Good! (34 reviews)
We had a great time here! Great location close walk to the beach. Would love to stay again and hopefully come back. Tons of room for a big group of people like we had. Only wish the host was a bit more responsive and some better dusting. But overall amazing stay and would highly recommend

Beautiful area, lovely beaches, easy to bike and walk around in. They have trails set up for biking/walking and using golf carts to keep you off the main road. Lots of dining and shopping options. Will definitely go back again.
