The pictures are an accurate representation of the spot, the inside and outside are very well maintained. Super clean. Very kind staff. Lovely location. Other vacationers very kind. The only problem is that there is no bathroom door. Very odd. They are suppose to fix April 4th.

The place is as advertised about location and cleanliness. Things not mentioned that are disappointing are the little things which the owners skimped on. There is no bathroom door at this place, only a wimpy, semi see-through curtain. Absolutely no privacy in the bathroom. For a 10 day stay, the owners left us only 2 rolls of toilet paper. The shower door leaks water onto the floor. Only 4 bath towels in the bathroom which is not nearly enough. No beach towels. These little things made me feel like the owners are cheap. Please rectify for the future tenants.
