Loved the proximity to the beach. EASILY accessible. Rooms were nice and an issue with the ceiling fan has been resolved. Communication with the host Leslie was key and easy. Couldn't have made the stay any easier. Would stay here again.

The accommodations were very nice. It is a very spacious condo, and the kitchen has plenty of room to move around . The cabinet are high but accessible. We found new furniture in the living room from what is shown on the rental property. The condo is clan and neat, it was also very quiet. Getting in touch with the host was no problem, very accommodating. The location is perfect and within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Really enjoyed our stay.

I was impressed with all the things provided by the host. Everything I looked for, I found. There are even lawn chairs and boogie boards. Check in and check out are easy. There are stores and restaurants in easy walking distance. To get to the beach, you just walk across the street and through the little Butterfly Park. Perfect location.
