Phenomenal location & owner

Cindy was the best host we’ve ever encountered. She is so accommodating and communicative. She made our trip so easy! The location is perfect, just a few minutes walk to the beach or the bay, a couple blocks over from all of the shopping and restaurants on Pine Street and just down the street from a trolley stop. She has all the amenities for making the beach trip easy & comfortable…a wagon to hold the chairs, an umbrella, a cooler and all of your bags. I would highly recommend!
