We realized upon arrival that we had actually stayed at this exact property a few years ago! The property was in excellent condition, much like it was when we stayed last time. Very clean and cozy! Great location with two swimming pools and a private beach access. We enjoy having the larger pool rather than staying directly on the beach with a small pool (or no pool at all). Plus, the walk to the beach is not very far and it’s a beautiful, private beach access.
