"Our family enjoyed the great location, view of the water, and private beach access. There was lots of room for setting up our group meals and for all of us to sleep. The home’s layout gave plenty of space to spread out and not feel on top of each other. The little ones liked having a pool as an alternate to the beach. We will definitely consider another stay in the future."
