Our host was most accommodating. Workers had made it to his condo and it was unavailable when we arrived. He made arrangements with his neighbor to use one of hers. It was great.

Great location at the beach

This is our second stay at this property, and we enjoyed it very much. It was nice to be so close to the beautiful ocean, which is the main reason we chose it. The balcony has a partial sea view, and we ate most of our meals out there... loved the ocean sounds and sea breezes! There are restaurants and other businesses close by... it's a good location for sure.
