Alix's place was perfect for us. We wanted a comfortable, private spot, in a chill neighborhood, with a dedicated parking spot, and this hit the nail on the head. We enjoyed just hanging out in the outdoor areas as much as we liked checking out the neighborhood. It is not a touristy locale, or at least didn't seem like it when we were there, so it felt like a more authentic experience. Having several great restaurants, and a grocery within walking distance was a bonus. We also appreciated that she had all the basic stuff you would need (coffee, half n half, cold bottled and britta water) so you didn't need to go to the store upon arrival. There were plenty of towels, etc , and even beach towels and chairs. Oh, and last but not least, it was spotless clean, and very comfortable, and actually a lot bigger than you can see from the photos. A gem! Final final note, Alix was right there on the property and quick to respond to any inquiry, but not overly hovering at all. We felt very taken care of, but also had our privacy.
