"Cozy upstairs apartment with ocean views all around. Close to the beach. The host was kind, and made sure we had a wonderful stay. The apartment was clean and well stocked. The queen bed was very comfortable. We have booked from this host twice, and will definitely be back to this property. We were very comfortable. The property is quiet, and you can hear the waves crashing on the beach all night. Very peaceful."
