Great little beach house! Ideal location, quick trip to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. Very nice quiet neighborhood. House was super clean with a really great pool. Beds were very comfortable. Best of all was the incredible communication with the host, ITrip. We liked this house so much we booked it again before we even left. Highly recommend.
