Location location location! This place was perfect. A beautiful ocean view and sea breeze. It's an easy walk to many cool swim/snorkel areas where we could cool off and watch the sea turtles lounging. Excellent communication with property management throughout our stay. He even gave us many options for things to do/see and places to eat. Most of my pics are just like the ones posted here. The view is spectacular!

We loved the character and amenities of the house! Nice large space for 2 couples. Kitchen amenities were far better than other properties we stayed at. I would recommend updating the mattresses as we all ended up with some ack pains. I would strongly recommend this house!

We loved sitting on the lanai with the amazing view and sounds of the waves. Walk across the street to snorkeling and sea turtles. This house has everything you need and is stocked with extra beach gear. Richard was quick to respond to any questions. Would stay again in a heart beat!
