Check-in instructions were clear. However it was a bit challenging to find beach chairs or knowing which items could be borrowed.The location was close to the beach and the lodging was in a quiet neighborhood. The decor was cute. We did have to use the pull out bed and there wasn't a full set of sheets for this.
Unbelievable property. Freshly renovated. Tasteful. Ultra clean. New furniture, new televisions, spacious modern kitchen and bathroom. Ultra comfortable. Steps from the beach. Quiet street. Easy to get in and out. Vastly exceeded my expectations. Very good value. Wonderful host, extremely helpful and quick to respond.
