Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

The home was perfect for our stay!! Even down to the little shampoos, conditioner and makeup cloths, so very thoughtful. Short walk to the beach, kitchen fully stocked with whatever you may need, super spacious, clean and up to date! Would not hesitate to book this home again in the future!
