The bathroom was very large and well-appointed. The breakfast was excellent and in a beautiful environment.

You feel right at home here The home is extremely clean and serene. We enjoyed the peace, the sound of the waves at night, the cozy bed and ease getting to restaurants and beach. You could spend the entire day reading on the sun deck. Lovely.
