Really good location and friendly neighbor across the street.
Right on the corner and less than a half mile walk to the beach. Small enough from a family yet big enough for 9/10 men to share their own place to lay their head. A few very minor issues. (1) The dishwasher, I couldn't get it to start. Later one of the guys finally got it to work. (2) The cleaning people forget to cleanout the coffee pot and AC vent (3) The window in a the upstairs room to the right needs some TLC. Overall, I would stay there again. My group enjoyed the place as well. My rating is 4.6 out of 5.
