Liked: Cleanliness
The location was great! No direct beachfront, but very close walking access. The rental unit was extremely clean and comfortable for our family of 4. The unit is small, with no closets or places to put your suitcase, but that is not a deal breaker for this great unit, with great location and amenities. There was some confusion about the location at the beach where we were able to setup the provided chairs and umbrellas, but there was rental options as well. Once we figured it out, it was a great beach vacation! Great response from owner when there was any issues.
