10/10 Excellent
"This was the perfect place to stay for our trip. Its location made it easy to walk to everything we wanted to do, and the accommodations were thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.We visited during an exceptionally hot weekend, so it was a bit warm at times, but it was still very manageable. Overall, the property was clean and well maintained. We did notice a small amount of sand and a bit on one of the blankets, which can understandably happen in a beach setting and may have simply been overlooked if the previous guests didn't fully follow the checkout expectations. A little extra attention to those final cleaning details would make an already wonderful experience even better.Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this property to others."
