So much space!

We stayed at this lovely property in mid June. It's location is fantastic- close to beaches and the downtown area. So many amenities - linens, beach chairs and towels, coffee and coffee maker, fully outfitted kitchen and plenty of seating for family visiting. Even toys for the little ones!
