Fabulous central location right on the strand, very walkable with the ocean just few feet away. Lovely apartment. What I loved was big glass windows with the magnificent views, the firm luxurious very comfortable king size bed in the main bedroom, the large bathroom with an enormous shower room with a few different shower heads, radon heat, functional open kitchen, plenty of counter space, big refrigerator, ample storage throughout the apartment.Ray was a great accommodating host who was always got right back to me. I felt we needed more pots, the next morning he had a brand new set of non stick pot delivered. Minor things I would improve is the locks, they were a bit sticky and the electric, one of the outlets by the dinning room was not working. Overall this is a great place to stay. I highly recommend it and would love to stay again.
