John was a great host. He responded to questions quickly, but was very hands off the rest of the time. The house is super close to the beach and restaurants, shopping, beach gear rental stores, etc.. We paid the same for this 2 bed beach house as my in laws did for a basic hotel room in town! The only down side for us was parking. It is available, but is a bit of a walk. We made it work and we would stay again!
