Great Host

Excellent location, you just cross the street and walk to the beach! We had one issue with noisy neighbors into the middle of the night and the host was advised. I didn’t except a response because of how late it was, but I did and the issue was resolved quickly. Great communication!! The place is as advertised.

Last stop

The wife and I were extending our stay after a long family vacation. We came across this last minute deal and the host was gracious, the property clean, and overall a great experience. Might come back and grab both of the duplex units. The only drawback was the upstairs folks were heavy footed and seemed like they were on the move most of the night. Had a hard time sleeping with the constant thumps from the upstairs. Not something the host can control so overall we enjoyed our evening and left early that morning. Loved how close we were to the beach and it was a lovely space. I definitely would do this one again.
