It was a comfortable, clean and well appointed get away for us to seek refuge from our hectic work days, and spend time walking on the beach with our fur baby Jax. The location was quiet, and a very short walking distance to the bay on one side, and the beach on the other. The bed and linens were surprisingly soft and very comfortable. The appliances were high end and like new. The very large smart TV in the living area was a nice surprise. Everything we needed was there. Markus was a perfect host and made sure we had what we needed for our stay. We will definitely be back. ##### Angelia B. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2021 ---
