This duplex served its purpose for the week. Beds were comfortable, plenty of space for four people. Kitchen was stocked for a small meal, washer/dryer work quickly, does have only a regular coffee pot (just an FYI for future guests) and dishwasher was a nice bonus. AC and heat work… yes, we had to use both. The home could use a little TLC. The floor is buckling in a couple places and the wood is splintering so be careful if you walk barefoot. Plenty adequate if you only intend to sleep! We would stay again.

Great location! You can walk to the beach, souvenir shops, ice cream shops, coffee shops, and restaurants. It’s also easy to drive and park close to the beach. Grocery stores and amusement parks are very close by. Quiet neighborhood and ample parking. Easy check in process. We had a group of 7 and did need to get paper plates and cups as there’s not many dishes available.
