The property is absolutely fantastic. Perfect for six people. The location is superb. Quiet yet next door to the island life. Great restaurants and coffee shop within 1-2 minute walk. About 6-8 min walk to the boardwalk. Ron and Jana are wonderful hosts--very responsive and accommodating. My wife and I look forward to staying at their amazing place again.
