Richard was a gentle and generous host. He gave us lots of great tips on where to eat and what to see, and made us feel right at home. The bedroom and private bath were very clean, and Richard was mindful of checking with us if he needed to use his office (on the same floor as our room). The photos are accurate - we were right on the beach! Great location with lots of nighttime activity and a great "boardwalk" for strolling or riding bikes (Richard even provided the bicycles and adjusted the seats for us!) The private parking garage is a real bonus in this area - no street parking to be found! The only downside, if any, was the constant noise of jets taking off and landing at the airport. But I guess that's the price of living in this beautiful place.
