Beautiful home, lots of space and beautifully decorated. I was more than pleased when I first walked in seeing the amazing set-up of the home, truly a location we will not forget and hope to return to. Only a couple minute walk to the beach and convenient access to many restaurants. Could not be happier with this location!!
