We opened the windows and enjoyed the ocean view, sounds and breeze. to The view was gorgeous and the villa was well stocked with a great kitchen and plenty of towels and washcloths. It was very comfortable. We did use the laundry mat (which was less than a block away) to wash our beach towels and I was happy with that too. We enjoyed walking along sunset cliffs. This place worked well for our group of4. Great getaway!
