"This is a great spot! It is so surprising what is fit into a smaller space. The airfryer and induction element along with the toaster oven would allow you to cook a full roast chicken dinner with all the fixings. Lovely spot. Comfortable king bed. You can use the patio overlooking the ocean. Very quiet neighborhood. A small oceanside park foour minutes walk. Do check out the Rusty Rake for an exceptional dinner. Thanks Brad."
