"The home is in a perfect location to everything. They had everything we needed. Blankets, towels, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, laundry soap and the basic kitchen essentials. Everyone in my family was super comfortable and loved how the home was decorated with beach decor. There’s no hvac but there’s a fireplace and space heaters we were plenty warm. I would definitely return with other family members in the future. We are eternally grateful to our hostess Veronica. Thanks again!"
