Barbara is a very generous, friendly host and location is very central to everything. I did not use them but she has bikes and helmets available for you to borrow and would be very bikable to the beach. Neighborhood felt very safe and there’s plenty parking available. She keeps things very clean and organized and keeps a log of local places and books you can read to give you ideas of things to do. Nice touches including coffee , tea and creamer, beach towels and utensils to get you started. She will respect your privacy if that’s what you desire but you can certainly chat to her about anything! I felt the private entrance was a nice touch as I didn’t have to keep bothering her as I am entering/exiting and she was very flexible within reason for any needs you may have.
