As this isn't your private secluded home, you will feel welcomed and at home. Richard made us feel as family. He was very helpful & in our space upstairs felt very comfortable and private. the balcony was lovely to lay out on. There can be noise, but nothing that disturbed our stay. The beach is steps away! There is Belmont park that was fun to walk to & so many options to rent bikes/ scooters, bring a helmet! This was the perfect place to stay & avoid a car rental. Richard keeps his home very clean and we really appreciated the space.
