Clean and Close to Beach

My husband I stayed at Christine’s place for two nights. It was clean and Christine responded immediately to any questions we had. Parking was easy and there were plenty of beach chairs available. The pool was clean, the AC worked well, and we were less than a block from the ocean. We typically stay closer to Bridge Street so that we can walk for coffee and to shops and restaurants, but Christine’s place was only a twenty minute beach walk away and probably worth it to some for the quiet. And there’s always the free trolley option. The only suggestion I might make is to add some personal touches, like paperbacks and board games, but I know she just bought the property and I’m sure these things will come in time. All in all, great little place to stay for one or two people.
