Nice location!
The location is great! Easy to walk to the beach, restaurants, convenience stores etc. The unit was comfortable and the kitchenette had what we needed. We were in a lower unit and could hear the person above us, not voices, but footsteps, pulling a chair out, that sort of thing. It wasn’t a problem, but it was noticeable. If you are sensitive to that kind of thing, book an upstairs unit. We were happy with our stay.
