Location was perfect. Literally a five minute walk to the beach or the store. This is a large three bedroom home, perfect for a family vacation. All amenities were provided, and the washer made living very comfortable for us. The full kitchen made cooking a breeze. The town is very quiet, the beach was a dream to walk on and hiking the coastline was spectacular.
