Jarrod made me feel like I was walking into my own home. The place is very welcoming and is as it is described. No surprises.... it was perfect. I was able to meet Jarrod and his wife and had a great time getting to know them. They are probably the best hosts I have ever rented from. The place is much closer to the beach then I thought. The walk to the beach only takes a few minutes and the outside living space is great for casual conversation on a cool night. If you are torn between a hotel and this place, I strongly encourage you to rent this studio. You will be as impressed as I was.
