    Great location - right on the beach! Unfortunately it was raining while we were there so unable to use the outside balcony and furniture. Views are stunning and there's direct access to the beach right across the unit! Kitchen had all the basics for meal prep or takeout. Covered car port also made it easy to get in and out esp while it was raining. Overall, it's a great unit if you're looking for a beachfront property and central to everything!

    The view is INCREDIBLE!!!! We spent a lot of time on the deck watching the waves, we saw a lot of whale spouts the first day, very cool! Bring binoculars! The beds were very comfortable, everything was super clean and nice. We really had no problems at all. The location to the beach can't be beat, we walked across the road directly to steps down to the beach. The road wasn't busy at all, and neither was the beach.

    Amazing house right on the beach - we loved the views (even saw whales!), and the layout was perfect for our family. Plus walking to the waves, or down to the market and restaurants, was a breeze.
