We had a wonderful stay at Mary Ann's Beach House. The house is very comfortable and spacious for two, with so many touches that made it really special, and Mary Ann was a very thoughtful, helpful and friendly host.
First, the decor is every bit as fun as the photos suggest. Second, the location is perfect. Just a couple of minutes to the beach, and an easy walk to the center of Hermosa and all the shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Third, the amenities: our favorites were the beach equipment and towels (essential for us!) the upstairs patio where we read until sunset, lovely throw blankets for cool evenings, the easy access to the washer/dryer and . . . sharp knives for cooking! Of course a comfy bed, lots of hot water and a well-equipped kitchen were great as well.
Highly recommend Mary Ann's house; we'll be back!
