Seascape Beauty with Distant Ocean View-Sleeps 8!

10/10 Excellent
"Enjoyed our stay the communication for everything was awesome even the specific details about what to do when we left the place in regards to towels, thermostat, garbage etc. The only thing we were not sure where to leave were the sheets and pillows for the downstairs rollouts, so we left those in the bedrooms close to washer and dryer and if it was ok to park directly in front of the place without a parking pass. Apart from those minor details communication emails were great. Our balcony view was nice especially because we could see a section of the beach. Just a small minor note the downstairs sliding door latch and upstairs bathroom window were a little tricky to open and close. One time I got locked out on the balcony. The kitchen supplies were stocked we had everything we needed to cook with. Overall beautiful place, my family thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would definitely book this place again!!!"
