Bright, tidy space. We had 6 (3 adults and 3 teens), and while it was a tad tight, we were fine for a couple of nights. Kitchen is well stocked. Good location for doing things in the area, including some great restaurants and the Elberta beach right near by. Super responsive property manager who helped us right away when things came up.
