Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We had a lovely stay..... Cute place with lots of spiders, and a wierd stale pee smell when we first arrived. The location was perfection. The pool was delightful, the ocean front was gorgeous, and we would defintely come back. The kitchen was stocked well with good quality items. The wine cooler was excellent to have and left us with plenty of fridge space for food. Grill was the perfect size for having 10 people staying in the place. Beds were comfy, but I think I will bring my own pillow next time. Be prepared for lots of steps.... ##### Kelly B.
