Coral By The Coast | Spacious & Just Minutes to Butterfly Beach

Coral By The Coast | Spacious & Just Minutes to Butterfly Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The home was just as described, very clean, nicely equipped and excellent location. Walking distance to town and the beach. Quite, except for the occasional train, but does not disturb sleep at all. Check in was seamless. Check out a little complicated, could not get the lockbox open to get the key to lock the door. Called the phone number provided and on hold for awhile, but eventually got a solution to the problem. The back casita was nice, sun does shine thru the slider in the afternoon and was quite warm and stuffy at 4pm, luckily the next few days were not as warm as the first. Would come back and highly recommend Coral by the Coast."
