"We love coming here. We always get a room with a kitchen and it’s fully stocked with good quality kitchen wares. The beach is a like 5-10 minute walk and you can borrow beach chairs, towels, wagon, and sand toys. There’s plenty to keep us busy with the beach, pool, mini golf, gym, and arcade. There is construction going on around the property and we could hear the noise from it during the day but it wasn’t bad and it didn’t start too early. Parking is a breeze. And the price is great. I’m hoping...

"We had an enjoyable stay at the property, which was beautifully maintained. However, it's important to note that the owner resides in a separate house on the premises. While they are very friendly, their residence is in close proximity to the rental home. Additionally, the property has strict rules that must be adhered to, including maintaining quiet hours starting at 10 PM and limiting the number of cars in the driveway to eight. Unfortunately, our family incurred an additional charge of $350...
