"Great location"

Sunrise Luxurious Master Room/Own Bath/Separated Entry/Vista

8/10 Good

"Overall this is a great place. It resides in a very quiet neighborhood and the property is well secured. If you’re driving in at night be sure to use GPS. Finding the place can be a little challenging. The accommodations are quite spacious. The bed is firmer than we prefer, but it was still nice. The value for the money is good. The view from the backyard is spectacular. Sunrise is worth getting up to see."

"The house was setup exactly as expected, very clean and perfect for our quick trip. Everything was very easy from check-in to check-out."

Luxe Vista Getaway w/ Private Pool & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here and had plenty of room for our family (10 adults and 6 children). We enjoyed going to the beach each day and having a nice place to come and relax afterward. Communication with the host was great and prompt via text or phone! The host was kind and helpful. We didn't use the pool much because it was on the colder side. We did enjoy the spa however. The host heated the spa remotely when we requested it. The home was stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as the bathrooms. Would highly recommend this location!"
