Location, location, location! Richard's home has everything you will need for a wonderful stay. Although it's close only to a surfing beach, it was a short walk down to a sandier area. Also, since he provides bikes, it's easy to travel to another area. We enjoyed not having to cart our beach chairs down, since he provides chairs, umbrella, and cooler. There is a small outdoor patio for use between the two duplexes. It backs up to a porch for the house in front. When no one is there, it is peaceful and comfortable; however, as was the case with us, if there are noisy people or crying children there, you can hear them even inside. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!
