Lots of stairs!! ##### carissa c. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James S. May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice location but not a gourmet kitchen Location was wonderful with easy access to the beach which is beautiful. If you like to cook, which we do, bring lots of your favorite items because the kitchen is sparse. Bedrooms/baths were nice as well sit down areas in kitchen and living room. ##### James S.

Very close to the beach. The only thing I would say is there are a lot of steps so if you have difficulty going up stairs it may not be a great option for you. If you don’t have problems, it works out great to get some exercise! We had a great experience! ##### Tina J. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thuy T.
