"We had a wonderful time staying here. The house was spotless. Everything was exactly as described. There were great amenities and plentiful towels. Our kids really enjoyed the home theater, a really unique experience. The pool table was also a big hit. There’s a very spacious backyard with a lovely fire pit and bar seating area. Lots of room to run around and play ball and do art projects. It was really fun to have a water view and the beach access was an easy walk. Clean, fun, toys kept down there, empty except for our family, so very private. We had a large group of children and grandchildren and it was no one felt crowded. Definitely recommend!"
