Host was very communicative throughout. Appreciated the games and activities for the kids. And the extra blankets!The floor was pretty dirty when we arrived. Not just your usual sand, but actual dirt. All other accommodations were lovely, especially the porch.

From tip to tail, The Salty Swordfish was perfect. Exactly (if not better) as listed, timely, efficient and helpful communication, impressively decorated, new and fresh, with plenty of extra and thoughtful bonuses.
