Clean and close house

This house was so very clean and well maintained! The owner was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly. The house feels so much bigger than it really is so it worked perfectly for my family and the other family that came with us! It is a short walk to the beach and right near the pool too! We enjoyed our stay!

This was one of the best stays we have had! The location is ideal for the beach and close enough to shopping and sight seeing. The lagoon is beautiful and the walking path behind the complex is perfect for pets. The house was well stocked so that we had everything we needed to cook our meals at home. The house is great for families with small kids or multi family. Very spacious and plenty of bathrooms. The furniture is nice and beds are comfortable. The host communicated well and was more than accomodating for what we needed. Lots of pool and beach toys, towels, etc. The bikes are also great. This place made our week away feel like we were right at home. Would love to stay here again!

After me telling VRBO that my disabled mom was with us, they still placed us in this home and my disabled mom had to sleep on the sofa because she couldn’t walk up all those stairs! We had originally paid for a private home with private pool, but when we got there is was a disaster! So after about a total of 2 and half hrs on the phone Vrbo said they found me another property that they would refund me and move me into, which was great all except the fact I told them numerous times my mom was disabled and could not climb stairs! They placed us in a home where all bedrooms were on 3rd level so that’s why she had to sleep on the couch! It was a very Nice place but I never would have chosen it myself due to the fact of all the stairs to climb while I had my disabled mom with me . It’s a gorgeous home with great views of the beach, many amenities, including bikes !
