Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house was perfect size. Originally we had ten people but ended up only having 8, so we actually had a couple beds we didn’t use. The place was clean and came with everything that we needed and the best part was how close the walk to the beach was. The host was super responsive and helpful when we needed something or had questions.

Excellent Stay, everything was well maintained.

We had 12 people that included 8 kids, the house was perfect for us, the kids all had their own beds. The house was well maintained and they were very responsive when we had any questions. Excellent access to the beach. Would definitely recommend.
