It’s the perfect place for a vacation stay (or a hospital recovery in our case!) Beds are comfy and everything you could ever need was easily found in the kitchen. Sandwiched between ocean and inter coastal, short walk to the public beach access, beautiful beach, quiet breezy days, short bike to the French bakery or local coffee shops, seafood smorgasbords, mini golf, great burgers, and pizza. I appreciated the balcony deck and ocean breeze, the bikes, and the beach chairs/supplies. I recommend staying at least a week if not two to really sink in and feel healed by the vibes. Lovely stay.
