Family fun

Great property and great location! With the guest house grandparents got to enjoy staying with us and still escape for some much needed relaxation! The kids really enjoyed the pool and the covered patio was the perfect place to hang out and watch them play! Everything was perfect inside too with enough space for everyone to spread out a little but enjoy eachothers company!

Great Little Beach House

We had a wonderful time at the beach this weekend. It was rainy, which put a damper on things, but it was November so that's fine. The house was perfect. We had two toddlers running around with plenty of space to play. Great kitchen and grill for very fun group dinners! Great house and great communication. We will be going back next year!

Beautiful home

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was beautiful and large enough for all my family. The location was great and had a pool we all enjoyed. The only downside was the home only had 6 towels for a family of 11. I called the maintenance line and was told someone would be dropping some more off later, but no one showed. Also, there were no extra blankets or pillows in the home besides the thin ones on the bed so if you get cold might want to bring your own.

Spacious Tropical Treasure

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental was a home that had everything you would possibly need to enjoy a worry free and relaxing stay. The home was so spacious allowing a gathering space to entertain from the kitchen, dining and living room areas. The bedrooms were separated providing privacy and quiet from the main area. The casita on the property was a completely furnished space located steps from the home. A bonus for a single guest that always gets the sofa sleeper. We enjoyed beautiful weather and spent hours in the heated pool. My family will definitely book another stay in one of a kind rental.
