STUDIO 22 ….5 minute walk to sand. 2 minute bike to walkway .
This unit was perfectly situated for walks along the beach, the walkway & the amazing art works. The rooms were clean & tidy. Shower worked well & the bed was comfortable. Our Cavoodle dogs were welcomed nicely by the owner's Cavoodle. Would highly recommend.
