"We stayed at Bungalow #1 and had a great time! It is behind the main house so it doesn't have a view of the beach, but is pretty quiet and peaceful. The place was well stocked, clean and provided enough room for 2 adults and 2 kids :) The beach access was great; you literally walk about 100' and you're on the beach :) "
