10/10 Excellent
"This was the perfect place for our family trip. There was plenty of room for all of us sleeping, eating and parking. We loved that it was kid and animal friendly and close enough to walk to the beach. We had no issues but the host checked in on us several times. We would definitely stay here again!"
