The beds were VERY comfortable! The couch comfy and cozy and perfect to lounge and cuddle on after a long day on beach. The location was ideal! Close to all of our favorite beaches and shamrock park was awesome to go for a walk, run, visit the park and play some tennis with the kids.

Great stay! They were very accommodating. House was very clean. The towels all seemed new. Great amenities. Only drawback was the pool is only heated in winter months. We stayed in October, so the kids didn’t hesitate to get in pool, but it would have been nice to take the edge of with the help of the heater. To be fair, we didn’t ask to turn the heater on because it seemed clear that the heater was only for winter months.
