Bonus points for having things like a hairdryer, a little vacuum, a nice TV. I could go on and on. Our host was super nice and responded quickly to any questions. It’s right by the little market too which was very handy! It’s about a 7-10 minute walk to beach access. If you chose this spot just know it’s tucked away and a bit tricky to find at first. But it was super easy to get in and out of. Totally loved it. ##### Jamie D.
