Our home away from home

Great location - a quick walk to the ocean, trolley pick up, shopping, and eating places. Thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool, as well as the space the home provided - we had plenty of room to spread out. Amanda was very responsive.

Beautiful Home

This home was beautiful. The location was about 1-2 blocks to the beach. Literally around the corner. The pool was a refreshing alternative when we needed a break from the beach and the heat. Everything we needed was provided. Would definitely come back again.
