VIBES
This place was perfect for us!! We were concerned with the location at first, the area is very lively, the train, aesthetics, but it was lovely. The people were very pleasant. The train wasn't so bad. We felt safe and loved the vibe there. It was very close to several fantastic beaches. The host were great and we didn't have any issues.

Cute Little Home
The house has some character (in a good way). Nice ambiance with some added lights.
VERY comfy master bed.
The fire pit propane was empty, but the owner was extremely responsive and brought us a new one in short order.
The only downside was the proximity to the railroad, which had trains coming every 15-20min at some points.. wasn’t terrible, but a minor nuisance.
Overall the stay was great.
