the house has every possible amenity, kitchen supplies, appliances, two refrigerators, storage space, etc. the layout is great for a large extended family, the pool is beautiful, and the short distance to the beach is great for small kids needing to go back and forth to the house. the master bedroom bed is the most comfortable I've ever slept on, amazing night sleep every night :)
