Host and the house were spectacular! We wanted location and this spot was perfect- steps away from the ocean and just a few to the bay. The house was so cute, cozy and stocked for all our adventures! We loved being able to use the bikes daily to explore! So many great local restaurants and coffee shops within a few steps also! Easy to get around with our car rental too. So nice to have the garage access. The deck was our favorite spot too!
