We were blown away with the ocean views our “apartment” had. The apartment was spacious with two bedrooms, a great kitchen, a six-person table and cozy living room. We were given a bottle of milk when we arrived to put in our fridge for coffee, tea, hot chocolate (all in the kitchen). We opened one of the cupboards and found a washing machine - awesome! This place and staff were amazing! Highly recommend!
