Loved this house and the location. Super cute! Only issue there was and it wasn’t real bad were a few ants in the kitchen near the sink and no we did not leave food out. Also one morning we woke up to a few caterpillars on the living room floor. Other than that, everything was amazing. I would love to suggest the downstairs part of Camille’s by the beach for coffee. I would definitely book this place again!

We stayed here for a family trip and had a great experience. The location was perfect — walking distance to the beach and very close to the pool area, which made it really convenient with kids. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described in the listing, they also had board games and our kids loved building the puzzles. There’s a coffee shop right off the beach. It was perfect to walk there in the mornings and grab coffee. The area felt safe, relaxing, and very family-friendly. Overall, this was a great place for a family vacation and we would definitely stay here again.
