8/10 Good

"Our extended family enjoyed the location of this house, having ample parking, beach gear, and a well stocked kitchen. The management team was great at communication. Our only negative is the large detached bedroom which has no bathroom which makes it difficult for most to have to walk to the main house in the middle of the night. A few things need fixing but overall this was a great vacation."
