Amazing Place! Best choice for beach trip. House was found clean, dining and lunch places were walking-distance, and beach access perfectly accessible. Kitchen, rooms and bathroom had everything expected. The apartments feel really safe and they’re quiet, perfect for a relaxing vacation. Host was incredible too! She responded quickly for any questions we had!
