The location is great! It’s a very walkable neighborhood & the beach is just a few minutes away.We very much enjoyed the outdoor space for relaxing & for dining.We enjoyed cooking two of our dinners in the Hideaway. The kitchen is very well equipped & the appliances are high quality. However, the only way to get cold water was to put the faucet handle in the warm/hot position & catch as much cool water as possible before the water heats up.

Overall the stay was great. We did encounter an issue with the grill but the staff was right on it when we reported the issue. The place was very clean and the size just right for the four of us. The patio right outside the door was used often. The picnic table out the kitchen door was use for breakfast and the dinners we cooked in!
