Lovely accommodations. The place was clean and equipped with everything we needed for our four night stay. It’s in the beach block on a quiet street. My partner and I were delighted to bring our small dog along with us. I would definitely recommend this property!

Recent stay

Location was great but would not rent this house again. Strong musty smell that was overwhelming. The washer and dryer are in a different building and very inconvenient. Outdoor space was dirty and furniture was broken. Need outside shower or at least hose to rinse body and feet to eliminate sand getting inside house.
