Family girls getaway

Clean, bright interior. Garage door opener did not function, we had to log in at door and open from inside. Would be nice to hose down patio furniture between guests, lots of spider webs and dirt on patio furniture. The road construction was loud and disappointing, had no convenient access to beach which was one of the reasons we selected the property.
