My husband and three adult kids spent a very enjoyable week in this comfortable and spacious townhome. The layout was great with two large upstairs bedrooms plus one down, a large and well-equipped kitchen, comfy dining areas in and outside, plus plenty of sitting space. Steps away were pool (heater broken, unfortunately), hot tub and gym, which were used daily. Beach club access was easy, and all the gear was generously provided by the homeowners—chairs, umbrellas, pool noodles, etc. We have rented many high-end homes over the years, and this one ranks at or near the top—hope to return!
