You can’t beat the community and the place is very large. The property manager was extremely clear with the communication. A minor A/C breakdown was handled with incredible speed. Kitchen does have every pot and pan. Garage has lovely beach supplies like chairs and boogie boards and umbrellas. So nice. Cons: the ice maker instructions were several paragraphs. Just fix it at this price level. And the couches look like a chicken was molting all over and they hurt to sit on because of the feathers poking you. Slipcovers needed badly. A couple of Nonstick pans need to be replaced.

We love the outdoor area! All the beds are incredibly comfortable. The master bath and the downstairs master bath are absolutely luxurious. Great walk-in closet! We appreciated having the bikes, beach mats, chairs, boogie boards, and umbrella for our use. Overall, an absolutely wonderful stay.

Myself and my husband stayed here with our 5 kids and a plus one. It was beautiful, everything was perfect. There were beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, mats, and a cooler, perfect for our beach days. Make sure you check the kitchen before you go shopping, so many items were already stocked. They had cards and games, pretty much everything we needed. The oven takes a long time to pre heat. We did have to buy paper towels, baggies, saran wrap and foil. The beach that you have access to is a drive, it's not walking distance, the directions are a bit confusing. Other than that, it was wonderful.
Amazing spot. As advertised.

We had a nice stay. The place was beautifully furnished and roomy. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio and having meals there. Plenty of seating. Bathrooms were very nice too. The pool was great! A few things need attention. I have summarized below: 1) There was only one trash can provided and we didn't have room for extra trash; we tried to speak with property manager recycling of plastic and cans and there was nowhere to recycle. The written directions were inaccurate. We ended up putting extra bags of trash out with the weekly pick up. 2) Two light bulbs were out, one in the Master bath and one in downstairs bathroom. We called the manager and they were never replaced. 3) When we arrived, only 5 beach towels were there, but should have been 8. We called and they brought some extra by in the afternoon, but the person seemed to insinuate that they were there when the property was last cleaned and didn't want to believe us; 3) The toilet paper holders had springs that didn't work. I don't want to sound too particular, but these issues seem like a basic fix. Thanks for a nice stay.
