Beds are very soft and saggy. Floorplan should be explained ahead of rental. To go through one bedroom to the other is not appropriate for most two couple rentals. (For a family it may be fine.) Great response to our questions and getting our laundry. Deck furniture was almost always wet, even on days it did not rain. Wonderful kitchen and beach supplies.

Very Nice

We had a great week. The kitchen was fully stocked with every gaget you could need. I took a star off for cleanliness because there was a pair of childrens underwear under the bed. And i wish there was a broom for guest to use. Overall everything was excellent and we would stay again.
