Perfect location, golf cart, pool, and beautiful views! House had several issues. Host did their best to address most urgent bathroom issues and response was quick-but we mostly dealt with the rest rather than complaining/taking valuable beach time. The two steps down to living room, curved staircase (varying width of steps), and decor (small rocks on the floor) are not kid friendly.
