We saw dolphins from the beach walking in the early morning. From the outside shower and hot tub to the very comfortable beds, this house is perfectly outfitted for what is needed for vacation. Lots of space, comfortable beds, and all we needed for making meals in the kitchen. Walkable to groceries and restaurants. A lovely quiet neighborhood and beautiful yard. The host’s responses were prompt and helpful. And we played PacMan! Just a lovely, relaxing place to call home for vacation.
