Pat was super friendly and helpful during our stay. House was immaculate and exactly as advertised! Home provided enough space for our family of 9, and the well stocked kitchen was a great place to spend time together after a long sunny beach day. Short walk to the beach, and lots of nearby fun for rainy days. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks Pat!!
