You are rt on the beach! Yes you are 1 house off but while you sit on the porch you have a wide view of the water even still. The beach itself is perfect for all ages and swimming levels. I walked along each morning and saw dolphins everyday! U do not have to walk far to get down to the water (great for the elderly), the ocean is level and sandy, perfect for boogie boarding and surfing but safe for little ones. The water is cold so we feel most comfortable w our wetsuits, but thats definitely optional. Its a close bike to the pier, close to shops and food, grocery store. I felt very safe, locked my bikes beside the house and never worried about theft or homeless people. As for the inside: the beds were honestly the most comfortable of any rental ive ever been in. Things were easy to find and use. The owner/ manager was extremely fast to get rt back to you. Downsides: the place isnt the cleanest, just bc its old, so if you are used to a 5* hotel you might notice things more than i did and rate it at about a 3*. But it didnt matter to us bc oh how we loved this place. The parking is a little tough but not too bad. We found good places and were able to leave our car for 3 days at a time closeby. we needed a few more trash bags, dishwasher pods, and the flies can still somehow make it inside w the screen always closed. Overall i would say 4 out of 5 stars for the price and amazing location. My kids were thrilled... so much to do. I would definitely do this again and again.
