We loved the location! Beach was gorgeous & very clean. The multi level living allowed privacy for all of our guests. The decks had gorgeous views and we felt very safe walking to restaurants and stores.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the beach, privacy, and safety. We're glad your stay was enjoyable. Warm regards.
Overall stay was positive. Apartment had slight smell when we entered and we also found a giant cockroach in the bathroom. Other than that, stay was positive.
