Excellent spot. Our first trip with our five month old son and the place was great. Very close to town and the Saturday market! The patio was very perfect for morning coffee and dinners at night. Would highly recommend.

The property owner was super attentive. The location was central and walkable to both the beach and the main strip. And the accommodations were spacious - loads of natural light and the small patio with umbrella was a perfect space to start my mornings.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

The room and bedding were clean. Not sure why there were six pillows on the bed. The room was advertised as Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast provided - disapointed. The owner provided two names of restaurants close by that served breakfast at my cost. The TV had limited service and no alarm clock. The parking stalls are small and shared with the owner's vehicle. . When leaving the parking stall, you need to back onto a busy street with a limited safety view. There are many trees and shrubs on both sides of the driveway that obstruct the view up to the main busy street - not safe and dangerous.
