We had a great stay at Artie’s place. The house is beautiful and comfortable. We had a few questions along the way, and Artie was always so quick to respond. We loved the pool! Great hours for the early risers or late nighters. The beach is a bit of a walk but a beach cart and all the essentials are provided which made it so much easier with 2 littles. Would definitely stay again in the future!
