Jun 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Love it Our family of twelve had a wonderful stay. There is plenty of room so you’re not running over one another. The beds were comfortable we loved every inch of the property. If I had to find a negative, it would be the lack of a second trash can out side. We had a lot of garbage (we cooked all our meals) and the can wouldn’t hold it all. Overall we were thrilled with our stay. The walk to the beach was easy and short. We had no problem crossing the street to get to the beach. The neighborhood is nice and we met and talked to several locals. I would stay here again in a minute. Nothing but good things to say. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3dcbfeb7-8ea5-4185-96d2-d8d380293d73-1751141366816.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/381ebd5d-4b9d-4041-8508-6c81f7452619-1751141365438.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e60c5596-d216-4f4a-a21b-e12dd75e51ee-1751141366103.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/21235e48-68f3-4e19-8688-53aa1ea31d16-1751141366130.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joanna V.
