The location was perfect. Just a short walk to the beach at the end of the street. The rental was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. It is also just a few short blocks to restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend staying at this property. The host had great communication!!

The place was quaint and close to the beach. I like that we could bring our dog and not worry about leaving her there. The place is cozy and the owners were very responsive when we had questions. We will definitely stay there again.

Fantastic! Book ASAP!

George was an amazing host! He communicated super fast and worked with us on checking in and a small umbrella issue. His unit was clean and very close to the beach. Having beach essentials (including a cart) made it easy for us to go to the beach multiple times a day. The small number of units per building made it feel so private. We would not hesitate to book one of his units again in the future!

Comfortable

Satisfied with our stay however, the cleanliness was not outstanding. The sofa had a bad smell, the linens had blood stains and also had bad odors. No soap was found to wash and we had to bring our own detergent for washing. The place was nice to stay at because the bech is close however, cleanliness can improve.
