"From the outside it looks a little rough. I was concerned when we pulled up. But once you go inside it’s great. The first thing we noticed was how clean our suite was. It has everything you need. 2 bedrooms and a couple fold-flat couch’s. There was only 4 of us so each couple got a bedroom. It’s in a super convenient area. Quick walk to the beach, restaurants and stores. Very quaint town. The host left a binder with rules, wifi info, nearby restaurants and stores that was very handy. Great communication with the host. Overall, we were satisfied. I would stay there again if in the area. "
