This place is location. We got there later on a holiday wknd and parking took a while to find but we ended up less than 2 blocks away and we walked everywhere anyways -the ocean is down the street and shops/ food a walk away. I was initially taken aback by the place -it reminded me of my college apt, a little older with some character. But the private patio and just the vibe of the place all made it a comfortable place to come back to for a fantastic stay. There were nice touches like snacks and water and some toiletries, cleaning stuff. This is a no frills, dog-friendly, reasonably-priced abode: The area is quiet and we’d stay here again definitely. Joe was communicative and helpful.
