The house was perfect, the area was safe and convenient, the beach was beautiful, and the golf cart was so helpful for my parents. The host was responsive when we messaged him and very friendly. We are definitely going to stay here again! ##### Monica H. ### 8/10 Good #### Fiona A. Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful. Very quiet. Lovely units. Bed linens were a bit of a problem. The fitted sheet in the master suite was too small and come off from the top corners EVERY night. We had to purchase a hair dryer and a small mixer as there were none but everything else was good!! More information in the book could have been useful, garbage pick up days!! ##### Fiona A.
