When they say 1 block from the beach they mean it! The beach is literally just across the street behind some houses. The apartment itself was cozy and easily accessible. There is no a/c but as long as you have the fans going with the windows open it feels good inside. There was more than enough space for my husband and myself, two of our friends and my two children without feeling cramped. The neighborhood was quiet. Ely even has a binder with the local restaurant and activities information so you can get an idea of good places to go around the unit. If you're looking for great deal with quick and easy access to the ocean then book this AirBNB. The hosts were also very nice and quick to respond. We had an amazing time!
