Relaxing Beachfront Getaway

The two expansive pools were a fantastic feature! One was lively, perfect for kids, while the other offered serenity and privacy. The beach right outside added to the relaxing atmosphere, making it easy to unwind after a hectic week. It was a beautiful setting to enjoy both the pools and the ocean.
