Sunny Beach Condo - Late Aug-Sept Dates Available! - Steps to the Beach & Linden

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great experience at Paul's condo at La Cabana. The location was perfect - just steps away from the beach. The condo itself was great: beach gear, beach towels, stocked kitchen, and thoughtful welcome goodies. I had a late flight and Paul was kind enough to accommodate me with a late check out. It really made a difference. Overall fantastic experience."

8/10 Good
"The condo was clean and in close proximity to the beach and eateries. The condo was quite and felt very safe. It was nice to have a designated parking space, which made it so easy. The host was quick to answer questions. The only issue, it was very hot in the condo due to the weather. Unfortunately, because it is coastal, the condo does not have a/c, only fans. During the time we stayed it was particular hotter than normal, the fans did not seem to help with cooling the place down. However, I imagine that is not the norm. Usually, the coastal areas cool down during the evenings. I do encourage others to stay and enjoy their time at this condo."
