Amazing

It was so easy to book and the check in process was very simple. We thought the fridge wasn’t working but I reached out to Amanda and she was very quick to respond. We are already looking at dates for next year to book early and for longer. This house is so close to the beach we were able to walk down for nightly walks which we have never had before. If you’re looking for a place to stay this is it!
