The view is amazing. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck. It is a short walk through the sand dunes to the beach and the water is amazing. The pool was great to cool down at the end of the day. Would stay here again.

The only thing that I would say is to bring your own blanket, just because the ones provided are pretty thin. But that’s personal preference, everyone is nice, it’s very clean and feels safe with kids. The pool area was kept very clean as well, there was someone there cleaning it every morning. We enjoyed it very much!

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location was good. We loved the balcony overlooking the pool and the beach. The kitchen was nice. We appreciated the supplies that were left available, dishwasher pods, laundry soap, etc…We did have some concerns with the cleanliness. The floor was very sandy and left dark brown residue on our feet/socks from the moment we walked in. There is a broom and vacuum, but the vacuum didn’t work very well. There was mold growing on the air vents. Several of the electrical outlets did not work. Part of the floor is coming up creating a trip hazard going from the dining area to the couches.
