So Adorable and RIGHT NEAR the BEACH

Tiffany communicated often and thought of pretty much everything you could need. I went to find where the beach was and literally it was less that a football field away. It was so amazing! It was quiet as it wasn’t in the high traffic tourist area which was exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely stay here again.

A great little spot!

Great host and location! Has a small problem when we arrived (not the hosts fault) but she was immediately responsive and it was taken care of. Make sure you bring everything you need if you’re cooking. I’ve been in some units here that have spices, oil, etc but there were not here. Again, not the hosts responsibility but just letting you know! You will not need to bring anything for the beach though as it’s all here! I wished there were a few more towels but that’s a small gripe. Overall and excellent time at an excellent property!
