Huge place. Great location.

This property is huge. Looks just as big in person as in the photos. Located right on the bike path, so very easy to hop on bikes to the beach and around the island. Nicely decorated and very clean. We all had a great time!

Family vacation

Overall the property was nice! Very good location! Upon entering we had issues with the keypad..there were a lot of cobwebs on the outside..the TVs kinda hard to navigate (sometimes being dependent solely on the internet isn’t a good thing!) The house was well stocked with utensils, plates etc…The issues we had during our stay Akers properties were quick to take care of(which we greatly appreciated)!
