Perfect choice for a cozy getaway.

All listing information was accurate and the atmosphere was wonderful - both within the rental and the beach-side community where it is located. It's only a short walk away from the beach or good food. Would easily recommend.

Quiet, perfect location for home base or retreat

I loved staying here, a great space with everything I needed and a welcoming place to relax and retreat. Close to lots of great restaurants and places to visit in SB area, and if you want to stay at home base, a wonderful place to just relax. I was on a work/play trip. Perfect for both. Will stay again!
