Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this for 6 adults and 3 children. It was awesome! We loved being so close to the beach that we could swim in the pool then head to the beach and vice versa. The house itself was gorgeous. The airway living spaces takes some getting used to on the hotter months, but it was really cool and we totally could enjoy outdoor/indoor living.

"Everything was outstanding. Thank you to the owner, Andrew and our local contact, Leah for making everything perfect. The home and the grounds had everything, felt just like home, down to the Toto toilets, Sonos sound system and home automation. With 9 adults ages mid 30's to early 70's plus four kids under 10, there was plenty of room and spaces for everyone to relax and the kids be active. Nearby beaches were good and groceries available nearby. We all had a great time and expect to book again next year."
