Plenty of kitchen things to cook with. Washer and dryer right in kitchen. A tv in every room was a luxury for us.

    The location was perfect, and the size and comfort were perfect. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed. It was super clean. The beach right by the property was perfect, so we didn't have to take the car anywhere. Plus, there is a small grocery store to the left of the property. All needs taken care of without getting in your vehicle. Plenty restaurants around, too.
