Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was beautiful with views in every direction. Also easy walk to the beach. We did have to clean the bathrooms and dusting off table tops once we arrived. That was the only downside to the property. We would stay at this property again. ##### Jessica L.
