Such a cute and perfect spot! Had all the thoughtful touches. Was very cozy, bed was comfy and little patio was great. I would definitely stay here again!
Such a great spot for a little getaway! A Cozy room with everything you need to enjoy your vacation stressfree. I would definitely stay here again in the future!
This was a basic accommodation and a good value for the price. There were many thoughtful touches such as a cooler and chairs to use on the beach if you wished. There was some confusion about entry, but it was resolved quickly. If you rent this space, watch for a step just before the entry onto the patio.
