If you are sensitive to odors, select another place. Old urine smell dominated the property. My sheets were not clean (there was a pubic hair in my bed), and I found a scorpion in the kitchen. Not impressed.

An old fashioned beach house. Immaculately clean, well appointed with fully equipped kitchen. A good sized space, low key and comfortable.
