This is a practical, not bougie place located two blocks from beach and a short walk to restaurants, stores, and shops. It has the barest of essentials. You may consider bringing extra bath and kitchen towels. They do not provide beach chairs or beach supplies. You should also bring extra trash bags, oven mitts, scissors, tape, handsoap, shampoo, paper towels, toilet paper, baggies etc. The information book was found in the hard to reach cabinet above the fridge. This is a duplex so you will have direct neighbors which is slightly awkward. Overall, the place was clean and was in a great location. We would stay again.

Two Blocks from the Beach

If you're going to the beach, this is the perfect place. Spacious deck and pet friendly. My only issues were the ants in the kitchen and inconsistent wifi.
