Great getaway location!
This property was clean, spacious and in a great location! We brought along our border collie and the little backyard was the perfect place for her to rest after a long walk on the beach which is so close! Would definitely recommend this place and we will look at booking again in the future!

A relaxing place to stay
Awesome accomodation, very modern and very relaxing. Excellent back yard for our fur baby as well. Communication with owner was excellent and prompt. Quiet street,1 block away from the beach and walking path. Close to other amenities and our car stayed in the locked up garage for the week as we were able to walk everywhere.
