Our stay was too short! We fell in love with our room. It was clean, kitchen was well equipped, and we had all the necessities. The location was perfect. The host was very flexible with our check in; we were later than expected;) I highly recommend this VRBO You won’t regret it!

Clean and spacious room. Beautiful and well maintained old building. Host was very helpful and easy to communicate with. No air conditioning but wasn’t needed as the ocean breeze was very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.
