"The host was always responsive to my questions, cheerful too! The area is small big enough for 2. It can sleep 4, but if someone slept in the pull out the table and balcony would be blocked.The Condo overlooks a lush garden. It’s a two minute walk to driftwood beach park area to the left. To the right are quite a few area that have a bridge going over the rocks. At low tide perfect sandy beaches with beautiful sand. No sharp stones, seaweed just sweet sand! The water in September was perfection.We don’t do the same area 2 x. We will return with some e-bikes. . That is the best way to explore this paradise! The condo was perfect in so many ways."
