"So nice to have three bedrooms and three bathrooms, each with its own shower. We had a great stay here. Good restaurants and coffee/tea house just a block away. People living in the adjacent public park, in cars in parking lot nextdoor, and in tents on the beach, but we never had any interaction with them. Pier is nearby but was closed with a locked gate. I’d stay again."
