Stay away from this lipstick on a pig property. Miles away from any beach and everything else for that matter, not clean and horrible customer service. The unit is poorly marked took me 40 minutes once I got to the "address" to find it. The ceiling fan in the living room didn't work, and its in the 90s everyday, the a/c vents have black mold in them, there's splatter, probably urine, on the side of the vanity by the stool. Trash under furniture and the refrigerator has rust all down the side. Just a BIG NO. Nothing got resolved during our stay a "maintenance person let himself in while we were still in bed without notice he was coming. Just not a good way for my wife and I to spend our 27 year anniversary 😢 💔
