Excellent vacation stay

Very comfortable studio with kitchen. Very clean and smelled good. Beach access was easy to get to and was maintained well. Walk through a foliage lined path was beautiful. The owners/managers were wonderful…friendly and helpful if needed. We will return to this great vacation spot.
