Awesome stay!
I would give a complete 5 instead of 4 for overall, but I had to reclean the master bathroom on arrival. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would definitely do it again.

Overall really great
Upon arrival, some hair in the bathtub and something bloody looking in the corner of the master bath by the toilet was there. There were plenty of bath towels available and everything we needed to make and eat meals there. (7 of us) It was smaller than expected for 7 people (44, 35, 17, 12, 11, 11, and 9yo) The location was great! Close to one cold pool, and one warmer pool, and a short walk to the beach. Beautiful area on a lake, so our children also went fishing at the lake. Short walk to a candy shop, ice cream shop, and beach store! Property manager answered all questions very promptly

Quick Getaway
We wanted a quick getaway. We had hoped to be closer to the beach than we were. When we originally booked, the listing showed us right on the beach which is what made us book. We made the best of it and enjoyed our time. The unit was the perfect size for our group.

Family vacay
My family and I greatly enjoyed our stay at SouthBay #27. It was well-equipped with all of our needs, including lots of beach accessories (chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, floats) in the the outdoor storage room. The free beach service (2 chairs and one umbrella) was also very nice! We would definitely want to stay here again!

Walk to the Beach
Overall it was wonderful. Would also recommend this property.. A little down side was walk to the Beach. It was longer than we all thought. But the good thing we didn’t have to cross any roads to get to the beach! It wasn’t no 15 minutes though.
