This was our second stay. Very quiet, beautiful ocean view! Okay for family or a couple but bathroom pocket door opening into 2nd bedroom is an issue for privacy, noise and light in that bedroom.Time for some updating of linens, mattresses and living area furniture.This is really a great place, all in all

Thank you for the review. We are sure the lower scores from the mishap with the check-in instruction sent. We normally don’t rent when we are not there but did not want to upset your reservation by cancelling it. Even out of the country we were able to communicate with you and unlock the door from a far. Glad otherwise you enjoyed the stay.
