Do yourself a favor and stay here. If you are looking for a secluded place steps from the beach, shops, and restaurants, stay here. If you want a host who truly cares about your trip, a space that can accommodate both small and large groups, and an environment that is quiet and extremely clean, this is the place for you. Additionally, all of the beds were very comfortable. Btw the property is more comfortable and relaxing than it appears in the listing as well as the view form the rooftop. I could not recommend this stay strongly enough.

Amazing place, 3 floors of spacious villa, plenty of bathrooms, bathtubs, showers, bedrooms. Tons of balcony space. Really close to the beach. This was an amazing experience.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
The villas were very clean. High walkability score with beach, boardwalk, pier within a half-mile and downtown within a mile. Access to private parking is a big plus. Great views from the upper floors. There is no A/C in the bedrooms so it can get a bit stuffy on warm nights. For us, it was fine with the windows and sliding balcony doors open, but the street noise may be bothersome to light sleepers. Kitchens were spacious and very well equipped. Beds comfy. The elevator was extremely helpful for my elderly mom as there are quite a number of stairs to negotiate. It also came in handy to transport luggage and groceries.Derek and his team were so helpful before and during our stay. They promptly answered all our questions and kept us well informed. We would certainly stay here again.
