A beautiful stay at a beautiful property. Everything was super clean and as described. A very short walk across the street to the beach and walking distance to Doc's and Coconut Jack's. The beds were comfortable and the 2 bathrooms made sharing the property with another couple a breeze.
Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2026
