Very accurately described. We especially enjoyed the balcony overlooking the canal. Large rooms, great kitchen. Host very friendly, helpful - living on site made it very convenient if any concerns. Beach indeed only a block away although the public part was about a 15 minute walk - but along a pleasant route. Only complaint would be that the wifi was painfully slow to the point that it was not useable - apparently this is a problem only in the summer when there are too many visitors all on it at the same time. Overall highly recommended experience.
