Beautiful location, beach is a ten minute walk. Host was helpful when we arrived; they gave us our privacy, but we did not realize until we got there that this apartment is part of a house and located on the lower level. It was nice and clean with a complete little kitchen. Personally my husband and I prefer a firm bed; bed is very soft…I’m sure some people prefer that! We did love the garden backyard setting with pool. Nice spot to relax.

THRILLED with this property stay! After communicating when we would arrive, the owner was here to greet us. He was very thorough explaining the property, amenities, where the beach access was and the Hammock, within walking distance of the house. The Hammock hike was gorgeous. Full Kitchen set-up is perfect, nice soft towels in the bathroom, very comfy memory foam bed & soft pillows, your own parking area, smart TV. We heard absolutely no noise. It's close to a few pubs/eateries, We did not partake of the pool but it was there if we wanted. The property itself is REAL FLORIDA. Amazing! We’ll be back!

Nice place to stay. They need to update the listing. It’s no longer assessable to beach (as it was listed) We had to drive to and from. Which was not an issue but that was one of the reasons we chose this place. Was due to it stating beach access. Also, vacuum tubing left in pool entire stay. I asked about it and stated we could basically swim with in pool. The actual apartment/place itself is very clean, quiet and nice. But we would rethink staying a second time.
