"The unit is updated and provided a perfect view of the ocean. It was a hotel-style accommodation—everything all in one room which was fine for a few days. The only negative is that the unit was hot and the portable AC worked hard to cool the room. Kari was very nice and quick to respond to any questions we had. Thank you so much for a lovely stay.
