The home was beautiful, plenty of room for the eight of us and well maintained. The location access to the beach was great and we enjoyed the pool. Beach gear was a plus since we couldn’t bring our own with us.

I am not one to normally leave reviews, but I wanted to in this instance because this property was a 10 out of 10. Such a nice, clean and roomy townhome. This place literally has everything you need and then some. What I was most impressed with was the beach accessory closet. I can’t think of anything that we needed or desired that wasn’t available. Also, the air conditioner worked really really well which is always a concern for me. I strongly recommend this place and we will very likely be back at South Bay number 78 again.
