"The apartment was very nice. There was very little info on what beach equipment we could use so we kinda had to just assume. The cleaning supplies ie dish cleaning supplies were not appropriate. We had dishwasher tabs but no dishwasher. We should have had dish soap but none was provided. This was no biggie just need the owners to pay attention to what they provide. The pillows on the beds were terrible and the mattresses were lumpy but All in all it was a good experience."
