8.4 out of 10, Very good, (195)
"The place was comfortable for a fun spring break with our family at the beach. We appreciated the boogie board and sand toys available in the garage. The patio space with a hose to wash off the sand before entering the house was really useful. Everything was as listed. One possible improvement would be up have a mirror in the bedroom to make sharing one bathroom a little easier. "
