Amazing property with magnificent views. You are basically on a private beach, very little use and easy access, I would highly recommend this as a great spot destination for a relaxing vacation.

Great view

We really enjoyed our stay and the host was excellent. I gave a 4 on location as you drive past a large number of homeless encampments as you travel to the site. The security is excellent at the site which was much appreciated.
