The home we stayed in was amazing. There was ample room for everyone. The beds were comfortable. The pool was amazing and parents, Grandparent and children had a great time practicing snorkeling and horsing around. The kitchen was well-equipped even though the kitchen top and refrigerator competed in their location. It was nice to have the tennis table in the rec room, but they need to provide better paddles. ##### Ernie B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa M. Jul 2, 2017 #### Great house close to the beach! This house was one of the nicest we have rented as we travel to the beach almost every year. The layout was great and the elevator was a welcome addition to travel between the floors. The game room in the basement with a ping pong table was very nice and had a wet bar as well. The swimming pool had a distinct shallow and deep end which was really nice for the little ones. The only drawback we had was the water pressure in the house as you couldn't take two showers at once or run the washing machine when someone was showering. ##### Melissa M.
