Vitamin Sea for the WIN

The house is gorgeous and spacious. Great location, close to beach, restaurants and shops. Only suggestions would be to update the beds, provide more towels (washcloths and hand towels) in bathrooms and perhaps a bigger water heater. If more than one shower being used at once, water is lukewarm. We loved the outside decks with seating and the open concept on third floor.

Great house in a great location!

We had a group of 5 adult friends wanting a relaxing weekend on the beach while being close enough to get into the city...and we got it! The home is great, very clean, all the amenities you could want, and great communication from the property manager. Will definitely keep this on the list for the future.
