Great views from the patio of the beach. Cabin is small but functional. If you have anything larger than carryon size for bags, you’ll likely need to keep it in the airstream. Airstream is cute, but we didn’t use it much as we were out and about or on the patio mostly. Hosts were on top of communications.
