The first thing we noticed when walking in was how clean it was, especially for being a bit older. Also, the location was just a short walk to the beach and a bunch of restaurants. It was a pretty humid and warm in there but we spent most of the day out and at the beach so it didn't bother us as much as much after the first night. Overall recommend! ##### Darian R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trang H. 10 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay This was a great place to stay for the beach. A bit of a walk, but honestly not that bad. The house is old and does get a bit humid, and the doors don’t close well, so hope you’re traveling with close company! We loved the couch, which was super comfy! We played card games on the round dining table; we had a wonderful time! ##### Trang H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ---
