Beautiful, cozy beach pad exactly as described. A vibrant, fun neighborhood. Yes, you can walk outside Helen's place and see the beach! Location is incredible. Walking distance to everything you need (or want!). Helen's communication was great. Any questions were answered quickly and her vibe was relaxed & easy-going. We arrived to find a quick list of instructions for the house and also a wonderful list of suggestions for food/clubs/sights/etc of the area that she put together for her guests (thanks Helen!).
