"Great location! Our family loved our time here. The kitchen is well stocked with good cooking appliances and utensils. Tons of beach toys for the kids! Outdoor shower is wonderful to get clean. The stairs inside are a little steep so keep in mind for you get children or older folks. The grandparents had to stay in the main floor bedroom for this reason."
