Exemplary communication with host, ease of check in and out, location and cleanliness of unit. Breathtaking sunrise and sunset views directly from private beachfront balcony. Anything and everything to cook with plus lots and lots of towels available so you don’t have to do laundry! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Sunrises were worth getting for!
An evening ritual- “wine down” with the sun. Sunsets are spectacular from the balcony.
