Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the 2nd year in a row that we stayed here. It did not disappoint. We really liked that the balcony was so close to the crossover bridge. We could see members of our party going and coming. We were so close to the beach. We also enjoyed the back balcony and could see our grandchildren in the pool. They took advantage of us throwing towels a short distance to them. We enjoyed the whole experience.
