Great location and such a sweet little quiet space tucked away not far from town. Everything I needed was provided and parking was easy. The unit was very clean and well maintained. I had a fabulous experience. It’s a very quick walk to the water also and I am a hiker and was happy how close many hiking trails were. I would stay again!

We had everything we needed for our stay. The bach is well equipped with a fun beach vibe. It is around the corner from a beach on a quiet street and close enough to walk into town. We walked down to the beach to watch the sun come up. Would highly recommend.
