When it’s time to eat, the dining area comfortably seats six, making it easy to come together after a day of beach walks, seafood spots, or browsing local shops. Planning a longer stay? The in-unit washer and dryer make it even easier.

Outdated but a nice location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place itself was in a great location. Everything inside was outdated but not in terrible shape. Cleaners could do a little bit better. Overall it wasn’t bad I would stay there again I would just like to see it updated a little.
