House was exactly as shown. Clean new house. Golf cart was really nice to take to the local restaurants and bar each night. The white sand beach was a quick golf cart ride away. Enjoyed the sunset each night on the beach.

me and my girlfriend or four children stayed the weekend at one of their houses everything was exceptional and beyond great. they even helped me out on day of checkout we had some bad luck with my rental vehicle and they were understanding and need the extra time I need it to take care of the vehicle before we left. I don't know if it will be the same place but I definitely look forward to renting from them again next year.
