This place is great, it looks the same as it does in the pics, except the back yard is very close to the neighbors. It did not cause a problem for us, but if we were all outside at same time, it may have been awkward. It is a very quiet residential neighborhood, so you will have complaints about any noise, but staying at the beach, with all of the amenities Richard has here, it is a great place for beach vacation and quiet rest. We would stay here again, except I would ask first if the studio apartment on the other side of the Living Room wall was rented out at same time, because even sliding a chair got us bangs on the wall and profanities being yelled, not by Richard, but by whoever was staying next door. I would still recommend this space if a quiet stay is what you are looking for.
