Soccer Team For Beach Tournament
The property was just as described. We had a total of 20 people that stayed in the house. It was very roomy and convenient for our soccer team who were participating in the Beach Blitz Soccer Tournament over the weekend on East Beach.

Good Setup
We came as a church youth group so perfect to put boys in one and girls in the other. It’s clean and has a great set up. There is not enough dishes for number that can sleep there but we decided to use paper goods. Bunkbed in front house was wobbly but the girls were careful with it and it worked. Overall great place and everyone enjoyed!
