Thr pictures are accurate. House is well stocked. Kitchen could use a few more pans for cooking but that is really just a personal want. Man i have been to many beaches around the world...and this beach is perhaps the best ive ever been to. 100% clean. No trash. No seaweed. Rocks? Not a 1. Clear water? Check. Very low amount of people. Pool though small is very well maintained and excellent for hanging out.Rooms all have personal mini-splits. Beds are decent/good.Property manager was excellent and very helpful. 1 word of caution....the street on front of properry is a little busy and driveway is narrow. We had a 15 passenger van and it was a little tight so id recommend just having regular sized cars. 2 can fit inside gate.Excellent property!!!!!"
