Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I had a wonderful stay at 338 Surfsong. The house is beautiful and very spacious. The pool was the highlight for us and where we spent most of our time. It does get pretty sunny in the morning/early afternoon so a few umbrellas...
