This is a nice, small, family-owned property run by a kind Indian family. The place looks great—well-maintained and updated both inside and out. However, I did notice several hairs on the bed upon arrival, which was disappointing. While I understand the property is managed and cleaned by the family, I believe more attention should be given to housekeeping and sanitation. Freshly changed sheets and a more thorough inspection before guest check-in would make a big difference. Aside from that, my stay was pleasant, and I really enjoyed the convenient walk to the beach.
