Perfect Beach Villa

Advertised as a “10” and lived up to its rating! Very comfortable and quiet. Updated kitchen and baths and spacious bedrooms. If you’re looking for a location that’s close to the beach, this is it. The host is an excellent communicator so never a gap in next steps of the start to finish rental process.

This property is well worth the stay. It is a very nice place located in a great spot. Super convenient for beach access and restaurants.
