The unit was so cute and well equipped with everything we needed. We had 2 small dogs with us, and the area outside the unit was perfect for them. There was a nice area to be able to take them for a short walk. Good restaurants around us, and the dog friendly beach was not far away.

We had a lovely stay at Kim’s property. From making the reservation to check out she was a delight to work with. She answered any and all questions we had. Unit is clean and very comfortable. The walk to the beach takes about 2 minutes. The added bonus of beach lounge chairs and umbrella being provided was so nice. Will be back!
