"This house fit our needs perfectly. Big family group that are all adults, with several couples. The location could not be better. We spent a lot of time on the balconies, looking at the ocean. We also spent time on the beach, in the pool, in the hot tub, in the theater, and in the big family room and kitchen. It was great to have the elevator, both for those that have trouble with stairs and for bringing groceries to the kitchen. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was all well organized with labels and pictures. The one note that I would make; some in the group expected beach towels to be provided. They are not. Definitely would rent the same place again."
