Short drive to the shopping area, and plenty to see and do in the local area, but we just wanted to relax and do nothing except walks on the beach and couldn't have asked for a better spot. ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen 2 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication The unit had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Convenience of a shopping strip nearby and great coffee at The Crimson Cafe, also multiple options for dining. All this & right on the waterfront. ##### Stephen Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### june c. 21 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great view Great place really enjoyed our stay ##### june c.
