This property was wonderful for accommodating our larger group. We had 5 adults and 7 kids (ages from 5 months to 13 years old). We also had 2 sets of in-laws coming and going all week. There was plenty of room for everyone to have a place to themselves. The kids loved the pool and beach being so close. We had the golf cart and used it for early dinners most nights, it was very convenient. RealJoy Property Management was great, we ran out of propane for the grill and they replaced it within 30 minutes of making the call. We are planning to book again for next year.

So much room. A bedroom with a bathroom in each so that every couple had their privacy. The top floor was extraordinary. The bottom floor layout was perfect for socializing. Distance to the beach was quick and easy. The host company was so easy to work with. When they found out we were going to be celebrating an 80th birthday while there, they immediately offered to help in any way. We were able to check in 30 minutes early to get things ready first families arrival. The kitchen counters were not clean (sticky and something either sand or salt was on them), lightbulbs in the 3rd floor bedroom don’t match(really screw w ya if you have ocd). Would be great if coffee and filters could be provided. We had Walmart do a delivery of everything we needed, but at home we have a nespresso and the other couples have Keurig, so the coffee we purchased that was leftover, will be donated somewhere.

This is a great location for a family trip. It is 1.5 blocks from the public beach access though there is limited space for the public. It was great to have the pool. It was about 5 feet deep which was perfect for our stay. We had challenges getting the door code because you have to use the company’s portal to get the code. There was an AT&T outage which made using the WiFi and television a challenge. In both instances, the host was very responsive. I would definitely book them again.

Everything was clean and comfortable, easy to use, the pool was amazing and we had amazing balconies that came with every room. They had 4 bikes with easy to use locks which made the stay better for all of my 15 family members. The beach was very close and was very easy to get to. They had an arcade machine that was one of the kids main source of entertainment. In conclusion, we had a very nice stay and I recommend this to anyone with the amount of family members we had because of how good it is.
