10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful interior with capacity to comfortably sleep more than dozen individuals. Conveniently located with ability to walk to the beach in roughly ten minutes. Two hot tubs, fire pits and hammocks. Any lack of curb appeal is more than made up for by the furnishings and open concept floor plan. Ample parking. Property managers were extremely responsive and easy to work with. We’d definitely stay here again!"
