Absolutely lovely property. Great location near Black Beach. Cool beach vibe throughout. Could use a few more kitchen towels but otherwise nicely stocked. My only issue is the maintenance that was required of me. I'm ok with taking out my own garbage but not a fan of having to strip beds, start a load of towels or sheets, dragging garbage cans to the curb. I can do this at home. I'd stay here again in a minute but probably won't due to me having to do what I thought I paid on cleaning fees.

Great place. Pet friendly but lots of stairs for an older dog to go up stairs to the bedrooms. OK, just slow- going. Steps to a wonderful beach

Great location, quiet, close to beach, market, restaurant

This is the third time staying at Blacks Beach Retreat. It’s walking distance to the beach, a small market for basics, and some restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay
