This house was in the best location! It was gorgeous and had plenty of space for everyone. The beds were very comfortable, the pool was nice, and the balcony was peaceful. The Host communicated with me everyday to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely rent here again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
This home was breathtaking!! The views from the kitchen were breathtaking! Words won’t do it justice. Hubby and I enjoyed morning coffee on the rooftop deck. The open floor plan was perfect for our family. Every room was super spacious. Two of them, right off the back deck. Decor was modern, bright, light. Super comfy, luxurious, and family friendly. The master bedroom is to die for! The swimming pool area gave us sooooo many memories and photoshoot backdrops!
The beach couldn’t be any closer for comfort. EVERYTHING!!!
Only downside: wanted just a wee bit more security. The bedroom doors leading to the deck were secured with a stick in the door. The back door leading to the patio - only secured by a dead bolt which is concerning bc the back and side property are not gated and open. But, it’s ok bc that neighborhood is extremely quiet. We stay in that area every year and always feel safe. If you’re ok with a lot of stairs, then this house is for you.
Overall, we would likely rent again! This house is a winner!
