Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property has amazing views with all the amenities one can ask for. If your plans include swimming or long walks on the shore the access to the beach is a steep 2 blocks down hill and the beach is not swimmable (know as a deadly beach) and very hard to walk on due to being pebbles and not sand.
