The noise was very high at night from the neighboring units. They were probably just talking but we could hear them. The master bedroom could be rearranged so there could be nightstands to put a lamp and things needed during the night. I didn’t like having to charge my phone on the floor. The paper towel was the worst have ever used! The two-ply would not stay together. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves!

House is in a great location with a quick and easy walk to the beach. The owners were quick to respond to our needs. Would certainly book again!

Giving it a 3 star because of few things. First the tenants downstairs were loud into the early morning hours, and the smell of marijuana was awful!! Second the air freshener that was used in the unit was so strong, it triggered my migraine headaches making my stay very difficult. Lastly, there wasn’t a lamp or secondary light in the rooms that could be used. I like to read at night and I couldn’t do so. Overall it was a good place to stay overnight. Good location.
