Perfect place to stay on the peninsula. The home is super clean with all the amenities to cook while you're there, lots of beach toys to use, laundry on site and garagevparking is a plus. Hosts were great and answered quickly when we had questions. Will definitely stay again.

The bed in the room was a single double bed, not a queen-size bed. I paid for a week's stay but only stayed two nights. It's a great place for couples, the location is fantastic, just minutes' walk from the beautiful beach , and the hostess, Janet, was very nice

Great location and property. The studio was cozy and well-equipped for guests. Clear check-in and in-home directions made the stay seamless. Location is outstanding and everything you need is walkable but having the garage is a great option as well. Comfortable bed and bedding. Would stay here again, and again.

This is my second time staying at this spot, and there is a reason why I have stayed here twice! This spot is so cute and cozy and is just a short walk across the street to the beach. The place is so clean and that is so important to me. It’s also a plus that this place has a garage for a vehicle. I would definitely come back to this place!

Everything we needed!

The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need. Walk to the beach across the road and up a block, super easy. Nice outdoor courtyard to sit in outside when not on the beach. Walk to restaurants and shops. The only issue was our noisy neighbors our first two nights. I contacted the owner and she was quick to respond. I know you can’t control everyone’s behavior, but the neighbors did not look old enough to be renting a VRBO. Once they were gone, it was nice and quiet. We enjoyed our stay!

Great quiet getaway.

The place was well stocked with everything you need for a vacation rental. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and just a short walk to the beach. The management was super responsive. We’ll definitely rent with them again.
