Great Vacation

We really enjoyed the location of this house. Beautiful neighborhood! Loved the decks in the evening after a full beach day. The house had everything we needed. We had a couple small issues and reached out to the host. She addressed them quickly and we were very happy.

We had a great stay. The property was very nice and clean. We waited through the storm and got to have 3 days in the sun. Where it rained we spent most of the time in the house and we had a great time.
