Great location - homey space

This is the second time my husband and I stayed at this location and it’s perfect! Steps from the beach, clean, and easy access to nearby shops and restaurants. This time we took our pup and he had a blast too. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a nice place for 1-2 people right on the beach.
