Great beachfront rental in an excellent location, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The main bed was very comfortable, and the setup works especially well for couples or families with two small children. For us, the second bedroom ended up functioning more as a middle space/changing room, which worked fine, though I do wish there had been a bit more clarity on the layout beforehand, as it’s more of a walk-through area between the living space and main bedroom with a trundle bed setup. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

It is a nice ground floor unit. Easy in/out with luggage and right out to pool and beach. Had good outdoor furniture and the lounge chairs on the beach were an added bonus. Only slightly odd thing is that the door into the unit opens directly into bedroom. Didn’t bother us since we were all family. I’d definitely stay here again.

We appreciate the note about the ground-floor layout; it certainly makes luggage a breeze, and we’re glad it worked out well for your family. We’d love to host you all again soon!

Overall nice stay. I’d rate the building as a three star level hotel. Beach view was obstructed by pool equipment, but the sky was big. I’m an Interior Designer so I notice such things more. But it is ON THE BEACH. The paint job wasn’t great on the walls. Rather sloppy. Missing shelf in primary bathroom. Oddly low mirror in secondary bathroom. No mirror at all in primary bedroom…could use a full length, or any really.
End unit did have extra light from side windows, which was nice.
Nice smaller building.

We’ve noted your comments regarding the paintwork and the mirrors. We hope to welcome you back to a more polished stay in the future!
