Great place to stay, enjoyed how close to the beach it was. Very clean and very comfortable. only downfall is parking. Came with the garage, but you must have a subcompact car to fit. Luckily we were informed of this beforehand and everything worked out great. would stay here again.!

Great location and property. The studio was cozy and well-equipped for guests. Clear check-in and in-home directions made the stay seamless. Location is outstanding and everything you need is walkable but having the garage is a great option as well. Comfortable bed and bedding. Would stay here again, and again.

The bed in the room was a single double bed, not a queen-size bed. I paid for a week's stay but only stayed two nights. It's a great place for couples, the location is fantastic, just minutes' walk from the beautiful beach , and the hostess, Janet, was very nice

The Bed is a queen size bed. I bought the bed and buy the sheets so I am sure. Perhaps, you wanted a King.
