Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It just doesn't get any better than this for oceanfront ..literally on top of it! Accurate description of convenient location to everything and pool, grounds/gardens are meticulously kept up. You likely won't find any other oceanfront complex with this much beautiful green space. Constant ocean breeze blowing through the unit making it comfortable even on the hottest days. Also constant surf noise which can be very loud at times so bring ear plugs if you need quiet for sleep in the master bedroom. We loved it. Well stocked kitchen, towels and linens. The reservation process and followup was excellent. Property manager was very responsive with any issues. We are returning for a third time next year and would highly recommend without hesitation!
