Great location but short on amenities
Overall great property. Many local restaurants in the area and an easy walk to the beach. Upon arrival discovered there were no beach towels provided and limited bathroom towels. No dishwasher detergent to be found and while the balcony is nice would be useful if there was any chairs or tables located there.
