Plain outside, charming inside! Excellent use of space, very clean, lovely decor, well equipped, quiet, and pet friendly! The host leaves a book full of helpful instructions and information. A five-block (give or take) walk to the beautiful beach. We very much enjoyed our stay in this comfy and cozy vacation home.
