8.4/10 Very Good! (624 reviews)
We had the most amazing views of the ocean from our balcony. The only downside was that they said online that rollaway beds were available, but didn't have any when we requested. Rest everything was great.

It is an amazing place for a family to enjoy their vacation, it has a full-equipped kitchen, and its environment is pretty perfect. If we have enough budget， we will be willing to stay more longer.
