The pool was the highlight of the house. We spent hours in the pool and sitting by it. There are two beaches within walking distance, one a bit closer than the other. The house had everything we needed. The living area was ideal for an active 2 year old and the kitchen was well appointed. The stairs to get upstairs are a little tricky at first, but became much easier after a day. Ruth was easy to work with and answered all my inquiries quickly.
