"This was a great place for us to stay with our family while in town for our niece's wedding. Having the main bedroom upstairs from the rest of the house was nice to be able to break away from people when needed. Communication from the management staff was prompt and clear, and they even helped us when we needed an item we couldn't find in the house. My only tip is that if you book through this management company, plan to bring all of your food and seasoning supplies. Unlike some vacation...

10/10 Excellent
"Room was good for the price right on the beach. Tiki bar is awsome and staff is very nice. They could definitely use some upgrades on the rooms, but of course that would just increase the price. So, with that being said, like i said before, nice room for the price."
