      The property was fabulous- all as detailed. Very spacious, perfectly clean and perfect configuration for two families. Kitchen really well equipped for preparing meals at home. Full and big laundry which we did t use but super handy if we needed to wash beach gear etc. outside areas great for relaxing. lots of off street and secure parking. Bonus we could bring our small dog. We would definitely stay again,
