"Our family of 4 adults enjoyed the great view from the patio and the beds were comfortable Our sunset walks down Ocean View were a treat. We did not rent a car and were able to Uber everywhere that we wanted to go. We ordered groceries several times through a delivery service. Patio doors and blinds could have definitely used an update but other than that the place was very nice."

Charming Beach Retreat Cottage #3
