It was a pretty nice stay, quiet a laid back, it’s small so not a lot of people and the owners were very adamant on helping in any way they could. Giving ideas for places to go, places for food, and even offering surf boards you can rent.

Everything was great the only thing we did not like was the lack of access to staff for check in or questions. The water pressure in the shower is too strong need shower heads that can adjust the stream.
