    This place is great! I’m happy with the cleanliness and the upkeep of the rental. Walking distance to the beach and small shopping plaza with few restaurants, coffee shop, grocery/deli mart. Perfect size and enough privacy for three adults to work remotely (if that’s what you need). We were pleasantly surprised when the neighbor was nice enough to roll out the garbage and recycling for us :).…
