Oceanfront 10 bdrm w/Pool/Elevator on The Point. Best Views on the Island!

10/10 Excellent
"The house was clean, most of all the bedrooms have beautiful ocean/beach views. Love the top floor with the kitchen and living area, best view all around. There was an elevator so that was a plus, especially if you have big luggage like I do. We had a party of 9 couples to celebrate one of our friend’s 50th bday. We will definitely be back in the future during the summer time. "
