Had a great time, only problem is our dryer did not work and had to lay clothes out to dry everywhere.

Close to the beach, shops, and The Hangout. The master bed was very loud and squeaky on one side and had uneven support.

The description is a little misleading. The 2nd bedroom has bunk beds as described, but only a single pullout chair, not a double as listed and no sheets for it were provided. The top bunk can only hold 175lbs according to the sign on the walk beside it, so it really just holds 1 person. The dryer only works for about 10min before overheating so it takes a long time to dry anything! I reported it, but no one ever came to fix it. The property is for sale so we had to have an appraiser do an inspection while we were there too. Parking is not included and is 100 extra. All were just minor inconveniences, but inconveniences just the same.
