We had a great stay. Perfect spot easy walk to shops and cafes.
Only issue was internet was really bad. If you require internet while away it’s a frustrating stay. If this was rectified we would definitely continue to use this place.

Thank You Scott - we enjoyed having you stay looking forward to seeing you again soon
Comfortable with great beach access and short walk to restaurants and shopping. WiFi was intermittent - frustrating as business owners who needed to work for short periods each day.
It would have been nice to have a coffee maker, WiFi,and a dryer. Also when you look on line you think you are getting the whole bottom unit.

nice property
we enjoyed our short stay view of ocean was not as good as I thought it might have been. Don't know if people above us realise that we could hear children running up and down the room above us and the dragging of chairs
