Amazing!
We have an amazing time! House is gorgeous! Was spotless when arrived. Great location and amenities. We definitely be renting again
The Starfish Cottage is amazing! Clean and stocked with everything we needed! So close to the boardwalk and not too far from the pool! The interior design of the house is very well done and the beds are super comfortable.
The only negative thing to report was the massive amount of mosquitoes on the entire property. I’ve never experienced anything like that. I am hoping it was just bad timing and not a common occurrence!
We will back!!!
