"We had a great stay! The walk to the beach was perfect, and the beach was beautiful. The house was large enough to accommodate our family of 6 easily. The only drawback was when we first arrived, I was unaware that the house may have been undergoing a remodel. There were rooms that were remodeled and others that were not; however, the rooms and common areas that were remodeled were great. The host was amazing; giving us tips and tricks to the best places to eat and shop. Overall, we had a wonderful trip."
