Prachtig uitzicht op de oceaan, ruime woning, huis is gelegen vlakbij het gemeenschappelijke zwembad, ideale plek voor ons 3 nachten verblijf met 2 gezinnen. Handdoeken voor het zwembad aanwezig, was handig! Ook de wasmachine en droogkast zijn een plus! Leuke vakantie gehad!

This property is exactly what we needed for the size of our family. Great beach views. The cleanliness of the interior and the property needed improvement. Especially the windows which obstructed the beautiful views. The beds were amazing, very comfortable. The amenities were well thought and all you need is your luggage.

Hi Meghan, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We are delighted to hear that the home was the perfect size for your family, that you enjoyed the beach views, and that everyone had a great night's sleep on the comfortable beds.
However, we apologize that the cleanliness of the property fell short, especially regarding the windows. Clear ocean views are one of the best features of this home, and dirty windows should never detract from that experience. We are taking immediate action with our team.
We truly appreciate your helpful feedback, and we hope to welcome you and your family back for an even better stay in the future!

We loved this house! It was updated very nicely, everything appearing and feeling new. The views and access to a fantastic beach cannot be beat. It was a little off the beaten path, which made it so peaceful out there. We would absolutely stay there again.

Perfect coastal getaway

The home is updated, comfortable and beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. The home has a pathway directly to the beach. We went as a big family of 9 and fit comfortably and the dining table was perfect for family dinners; we’ve never been able to eat all together at one table and we could here which was a great plus. The house also is perfectly next to the community amenities like the basketball courts and hot tub. Steps away from the ocean and amenities makes this house a great option for big families interested in doing different things. We would definitely stay again.
