Easy to access hot tub and large outdoor table to use along with a grill. Could see a limited view of ocean from small deck area with a couple of chairs and a table accessed by metal spiral...

"Loved my stay! Property manager was easy to work with, the property exceeded my expectations in location and proximity to beach, restaurants, fun, etc. and in the the layout and how well-equipped it was. The only thing I’d change is that the bathroom was a little old and had a slow drain in the tub. Would definitely stay here again (and hope to)! Thanks!"
