This guest house is super clean and communication with the owner's son was easy. He responded quickly by email. It was perfect for my daughter and I. I loved that it came with beach chairs...that are really nice, beach towels, cooler, and beach umbrella. ⛱️ Made going to the beach easy since we flew there. Loved the screened in patio too. Only negative for us was the bed. It was a nice king size bed, but too hard for our liking.
