"We loved this property right on the beach! It was beautiful the rooms were spotless!! The security is amazing! The office ladies were so helpful! Only one little thing the washer dryer needs to be worked on or replaced since they ask you to wash the beach towels so of course I did & the washer took 2 hours the dryer took over 3 hours to dry it wouldn’t get hot lol So 5 hours for a small load of laundry lol but just that small issue & every thing else was the best!!

"This place was amazing! Great beach. Would recommend friend to stay here. The only two negatives were the mattress was pretty awful, and the communication with the host was nonexistent. I had to call 5 times during there open hours to talk to someone. I also sent them a message about a possible late check out the day before we left and they never responded."
