"Perfect location for the beach. Pool is small but clean and has benches to relax in at end of day. House is a little dated but fairly clean and kept up well. We had a couple issues with washer but they gave us quick attention."

"Tub caulking needed to be replaced. Two light fixtures in-between the beds didn't work... one didn’t even have a bulb. It would have been nice for chairs and umbrella service to have been included. There was an empty shower wash bottle that we had replaced. Breakfast was ridiculously priced. ."
