Good, but could be better!

Good location! Easy walk to the beach! The layout makes sense and the common area was bigger than I thought it would be. Kitchen appliances and utensils were somewhat lacking. There was one bedroom that didn't have blinds for both sets of windows. The bedroom with 2 twin beds, the frames were incredibly flimsy and the slats on the bed were a thin plastic. Probably would have been okay if a small child was on the bed but we had an adult sleeping in that room. Also, it's a pandemic... contactless check-in should have been an option. We had to go to the real-estate office to pick up a key and drop it off again afterwards.
