The front entrance is open and bright leading to a huge, open living space with living room, dining area, kitchen, and sunroom. The entire home has been refreshed with new fixtures and furnishings, and the shining kitchen with bright green cabinets is sure to spark joy! The humongous sectional in the sunroom with 65" TV is a great spot to curl up relax with a movie after a day at the beach. These open to the screened porch and deck in the back.

Just beyond the back deck and backyard is the 4th fairway of the Ocean Point course where you can watch golfers go by most of the day.

• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.

During your stay:

• Did you have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
