Connie was very welcoming and the apartment is very comfortable and calming! It was blissful to wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. We were there during a full moon which meant the high tides were very high and the beach was covered with water during much of the late morning/early afternoon so we didn't have a ton of time on the sand itself, but the view from the deck was so stunning it didn't matter! Highly recommended.
