Bad Fridge

The only bad thing about our stay was the fridge. Everything in it froze even after being reset. I think printed instructions for operation of the TV should be supplied. Not everyone has the same provider and they are all different.

Great location

Easy to walk to the beach. Close to restaurants and stores. Nice updated kitchen and bathrooms. Very clean and quiet. Comfy beds. We are old and do a lot of sitting around and we found the living room furniture a bit uncomfortable. The only other criticism is the hot water took a long time to get hot. Otherwise a great place to stay.
