LOVED! This house has everything you could possibly want for a beach vacation! The golf cart was a huge bonus to have for the week! Parked our car the day we arrived and only needed it once. The house is so spacious and fully stocked from games to Tupperware to cooking supplies! We will definitely be staying again!
