The beach access/view was spectacular. The place was very clean. Compared to some rentals, it was sparse with regard to shampoo, etc and had salt and pepper but no other cooking ingredients. You share beach space and your porch with neighbors. This is not a complaint but good information. The place was a splurge for us but was exactly what we hoped for. We hope to be back.
You get one half of the small building on the left. Plenty of room for 2, would be ok for 4

It was a perfect little place to get some r&r and enjoy the beach and ocean the ocean breeze in your own time as you could walk right out the door and you have toes in the sand, or just take it all in through the large window in the cool of the living room. The place itself is adorable and the pictures don’t do it justice, I love the crisp blue color! The place had everything we needed, including a blender for smoothies and a library of books. Thank you, this is a gem of a place. mgm
