The best part about our stay was the deck. We sat out there all day long, just steps away from the beach. There are three ceiling fans but none of them worked, otherwise everything was nice, the bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans and flatware.

The house itself was great! Very small but we expected that. Unfortunately we weren’t able to enjoy ourselves due to the swarms of mosquitoes, couldn’t even walk to our car without getting bit even with bug spray on Just leaving this to warn others if they aren’t aware like we weren’t
