Clearly I love their rentals, so I could go on & on, but the highlights:Very comfortable bedsSoft linens3 loveseat style couches in L room were great- plenty of room to stretch out.Had everything we could ever need while staying at the beach.The porch area was fantastic, and the furniture was comfortable out there- so much I fell asleep to the waves crashing.Patio area is another great spot to relax and take in the views.We couldn’t have asked for more from a place. And I always appreciate David doing a check in to make sure everything is up to par. That little extra customer service goes far.
