The best part is that it isn't one of those buildings with three or more floors. It's got one floor for guests that are staying there. It has two bedrooms--one with a king and the other with a large bed and two bunk beds. The A/C works great, the living room is spacious, and the balcony provides a great uninterrupted view of the beach. To get to the beach takes about one or two minutes--the walkway is adjacent to the house. Nice place. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b9126859-a0c9-4c85-a456-1aa0e08d8453-1751565163324.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed8ef87e-9280-43e4-a865-e77bca8a64d5-1751565163432.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49095988-f5f1-401b-a99d-06b9428b6e2c-1751565163332.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba0452f5-a610-44e3-99ab-46f78c25270b-1751565163372.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ra G.
