Everything inside the unit was comfortable and clean and functional. The bed is extremely comfortable. I love cooking in the kitchen. There wasn’t anything that I wished was there that wasn’t already there. My stay was lovely. Being able to look out to the ocean in the sky from the great picture windows and also from the bed was something I will never forget. It soothed my soul.

This was one of our best short-term rental stays. The host was responsive, the instructions were clear, everything was there and in good condition (no yard sale refugees), and the unit was super clean. Oh, and the beach and view are great. We don't usually go to a place more than once. For this place I'll make an exception.

Took my wife here for her birthday. We had a fabulous stay for 3 nights. The location was very peaceful and quiet. This unit was very clean and had everything we needed to cook meals. The bed was very cozy and warm and the bathroom very clean as well. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a quiet 2 person stay. We will be looking to return again we loved it so much.
