Quaint oasis on the beach

We stayed for a long weekend at the end of May and it was everything we were looking for! We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, access to pool with pool toys and being so close to the beach! Added bonus was the shark tooth sifters, and yes - we found some right on Golden beach. The other beach’s were a very short drive with was great for us too. Highly recommend this rental and will definitely be back!

Great location! Beautiful view, very nice pool. This efficency was very small but works. If i was them i would remove the corner shelves and put a dresser there. No place to put clothes except a small closet for hanging a few things! Description was not the most accurate. No bikes or kyaks to rent and no ice maker! The furniture they show is in the common room. Happy with vacation next time would get a bigger unit!
