Beach is calling....
No driving, just walking 2 minutes, then you are at the beach! Property is as described, well equipped, easy check-in and out, and communication with host is good. The area is very busy and noisy from 7:30 am to 11pm as it is right in front of the entrance to the park/beach so no quiet reading on the porch (in July anyway).

Wonderful holiday weekend for the intended destination. Really enjoyed and appreciated the home.
It’s a super location for exploring much of the island. Lively to have 2 separate bedrooms. Inside is like visiting your own gallery. Inspiring for artists for sure! Once the park across the way closes the area gets quiet and the beds are quiet comfy.
