Beautiful Home & Location
Upon arrival everything looked exactly like the listing. Great location next to the beach. Everything was clean and organized. The views from the kitchen were beautiful. All the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked with towels galore! I loved that every room including the living room had throws/blankets made it very cozy. The only downsides were the couches were leather and not very cozy or comfortable. Also, the TV was pretty small for that space, it was hard to watch comfortably. Other than that we were all very pleased with our stay and we hope to visit again in the future!
