Great location
Great location.. on the beach. Property manager is very strict on check in/out time which is ok but I was given a non working access code and it took 2 phone calls to get a correct one as cell service is very poor. House was clean enough several cobwebs nited in bedroooms. More disturbing was the upstairs bedroom lanais with ocean views did not have any furniture and the photos on the vrbo site show lovely furniture. Plus the windows were so filthy one could not see the ocean. The location made up for our inconveniences.. Tho when you are paying top dollar one does not expect to encounter the above....
