We had a girls weekend and it was a beautiful place to stay and the location was perfect! The home was so cozy and comfortable. The hosts were readily available and everything you needed was already there. Best VRBO experience I have had to date! Highly recommended.
Beautiful home, beds/furniture were very cozy, kitchen was decently stocked with basic cooking needs. Also really enjoyed the layout of the home. The walk to the beach was across a busy road, so water access isn’t necessarily right off the property but still easy to get to. I’d say overall a great place to rent - great location!
