Great vacation spot

We loved this property for our annual summer beach vacation. 5 Stars all the way around. The only minor complaint I would make has nothing to do with this property but rather the neighbors that had 3-4 cats just wandering about outside which made it a bit of a hassle with our dogs.

The house was well equipped with everything we needed. It was a beautiful home that fit perfectly for our family. Check in was so simple and easy and the rental company was amazing to deal with. The bedrooms were a decent size with nice large closet spaces. The parking situation was not ideal for having multiple cars so be mindful of that.
