Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was VERY clean and in a great location with beautiful views of the ocean. Plenty of space for 6 adults and 4 kids. The outdoor shower was a plus. We went during a slow time, so the beach was very empty, which made the vacation even better ;) Highly recommend staying here."
